It’s day two of the 2022 NFL draft, which means the Chicago Bears, barring a major upset, will finally make their selections after not having a pick in the first round.
The Bears are looking for upgrades at a number of positions, including offensive and defensive line and cornerback. But the position that’s garnered the most interest has been wide receiver.
Chicago is in serious need of weapons for quarterback Justin Fields and should have some intriguing options for them when their first pick at No. 39 is on the clock.
George Pickens, Skyy Moore, Christian Watson, and Jalen Tolbert are a number of players who might be in play at that spot should the Bears choose to go in that direction. They could also find some of those options with their second pick of the round at No. 48, should they choose to keep the picks.
Unfortunately, the 39th and 48th picks in the draft haven’t yielded great results when it comes to wide receivers. While that doesn’t hold any barring over this year’s crop of receivers, here is the list of receivers who were picked at the those respective spots since 2000.
