The Chicago Bears welcomed 10 new rookies to the roster during the 2023 NFL draft, which includes plenty of reinforcements on defense and some offensive help for Justin Fields.
Chicago found some impact starters and potential steals, including top selection, offensive tackle Darnell Wright and running back Roschon Johnson and wide receiver Tyler Scott.
