2023 NFL draft: Full 7-round mock draft for the Bears

The Chicago Bears pulled off a huge predraft trade with the Carolina Panthers, allowing them to add picks and taking the heat off of the front office to hit on the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft.

With 10 total picks including four inside the top 65, the Bears should have an opportunity to really build around young quarterback Justin Fields. Here is our seven-round Bears mock draft with an eye on rookies who can help Chicago win in 2023.

The Bears need help along both sides of the line of scrimmage and this draft delivers, starting with edge rusher Will Anderson Jr. and defensive tackle Calijah Kancey. But the other side of the line isn’t neglected with three picks dedicated to the offensive line. Chicago also scores a couple of offensive playmakers and great depth on defense at all three levels.
