The Chicago Bears are sitting at 3-11 through the first 15 weeks of the 2022 NFL season, where things have been rocky in the first season under Ryan Poles and Matt Eberflus.
But that was to be expected. This season is all about development, including quarterback Justin Fields, who has emerged as one of the league’s most exciting young players. So while the Bears will finish with one of the worst records, they’ve already won this season.
With just three games left to be played, we’re winding down on the 2022 season and looking ahead to a busy 2023 offseason. That includes the NFL draft, where Chicago is trending toward a top-3 draft pick to address an important need.
If the season were to end today, the Bears would hold the No. 2 overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft. With Chicago’s loss to the Eagles and the Broncos beating the Cardinals, the Bears have reclaimed that second pick.
