20 best edge rusher prospects in the 2023 NFL draft

The 2023 NFL draft is almost here, and the Chicago Bears have plenty of needs to address. General manager Ryan Poles has 10 draft picks to work with, including four in the top 64.

Edge rusher is a top need for the Bears as they look to shore up the league’s worst pass rush from a year ago, totaling 20 sacks in 17 games. Chicago will likely use one of their top selections to find an impact player at a premium position. And there are options across the board.

Here’s a look at the top edge rusher prospects in the NFL draft:
