The Chicago Bears are sitting at 3-8 through the first 11 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.
While there are still six games to be played, it’s hard not to look ahead to the 2023 offseason. That includes the NFL draft, where Chicago is expected to have a top-10 draft pick to address one of several important needs.
If the season were to end today, the Bears would hold the third overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft. Chicago’s loss to the Falcons moved them into the top five. The only teams ahead of the Bears are the Houston Texans and Carolina Panthers.
