The Chicago Bears welcomed 11 new rookies to the roster during the 2022 NFL draft, including two projected Day 1 starters in the secondary with cornerback Kyler Gordon and safety Jaquan Brisker.
General manager Ryan Poles made it clear that the secondary and offensive line were the team’s biggest needs, as evidenced by the combined seven draft selections at those positions out of 11 picks.
