And despite the quiet lead up to this year\u2019s event, the 2022 NFL Draft didn\u2019t fail to make some noise once the clock started rolling. There were <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/news\/2022-nfl-draft-debrief-a-j-brown-trade-fallout-draft-winners-and-losers-rookie-w\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">plenty of trades made on night one<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to kick the weekend off. Two of the bigger ones involved receivers A.J. Brown and Marquise Brown being sent to new teams. But around here, we\u2019re only focused on one team and how they drafted. So, let\u2019s dive right into some Chicago Bears draft grades for Ryan Poles first go-around!<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chicago Bears\u2019 2022 Draft Grades<\/span><\/h1>\n<div class=\"sbi-embed-wrap\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media sbi-embed\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Cc9CzorMS36\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

A Secondary Rebuild<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our first set of Chicago Bears draft grades starts with the selections the team made in round 2 of the NFL draft. With the 39th and 48th overall pick in round two, the Bears looked to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/chicago-bears-draft-preview-when-they-pick-positional-needs-and-more\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">address some needs they had in the secondary<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For their first pick of the NFL draft, the Bears selected cornerback <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/insider.espn.com\/nfl\/draft\/player\/_\/id\/106012\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kyler Gordon<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> from Washington. Now, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/blog\/chicago-bears\/post\/_\/id\/4711197\/ryan-poles-stays-convicted-to-long-term-plan-as-bears-keep-chipping-away-at-rebuild-during-nfl-draft\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">according to Poles<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, having Gordon available at 39 was something the team wasn\u2019t really expecting. They ran a few mock drafts, and Gordon was only available with the 39th pick in one of them. Because of that, Poles essentially told everyone to ignore him, as it was better to act like he wouldn\u2019t be there. That all changed on Friday night though. Gordon projects to have an immediate impact on the defensive with a skillset that\u2019s suited to fit an Eberflus zone-defense. Over time, the team hopes he can develop into a full-time star in the secondary.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With their second pick, Poles and the Bears continued to build their secondary by selecting <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/gopsusports.com\/sports\/football\/roster\/jaquan-brisker\/11534\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jaquan Brisker<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a safety from Penn State. Like Gordon, the hopes are that Brisker starts contributing right away on the field come gametime. The Bears are also super high on Brisker for what he can bring to the locker room and the team&#8217;s culture, as he\u2019s extremely driven and has the traits of a leader.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the second round, we\u2019re giving out a strong A for the first of our Chicago Bears draft grades.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"sbi-embed-wrap\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media sbi-embed\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Cc9R1IEMMcM\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

5 &#8211; Addressing the Offense<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Up next comes the picks from rounds 3 and 5 for our <a href=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/?s=chicago+bears\">Chicago Bears<\/a> draft grades.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With their third round pick at #71, the Bears switched things up and selected <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/prospects\/velus-jones\/32004a4f-4e82-6251-6347-ca9076d159e9\">Velus Jones Jr.<\/a>, a wide receiver from Tennessee. At 25 years old, Jones is an older rookie who has plenty of speed to do some damage in the NFL. The Bears are pretty high on him, and the rest of us fans should be too. Jones isn\u2019t necessarily coming in as the #1 guy for Fields, but it doesn\u2019t mean he can\u2019t have some impact as a dynamic weapon for our young QB.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Bears next picks in round 5 were two that they didn\u2019t initially have coming into the 2022 NFL draft. After some savvy maneuvering by Poles, the Bears traded away picks 148 and 150 in the second round to acquire additional draft capital in the later rounds. This ended up with them having picks 168 and 174 in the fifth round.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They used those two picks to select <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/prospects\/braxton-jones\/32004a4f-4e10-3812-6017-fb2a329c4c5b\">Braxton Jones<\/a>, an offensive tackle from Southern Utah, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/prospects\/dominique-robinson\/3200524f-4240-4567-d940-a5c388777ffe\">Dominique Robinson<\/a>, an edge rusher from Miami Ohio. Like many fifth round picks, Jones expects to develop as an offensive lineman before seeing serious reps as a starter. He has some promising speed, and one trait that you can\u2019t teach, coach, or train for: arm length.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As for Dominique Robinson, this new pass rusher is another development project the Bears hope to mold into a starter down the road. He\u2019s known for his athletic traits, and up until 2020 he played as a 6\u2019 5\u201d, 252-pound wide receiver. How would you like to guard that? The rookie will have plenty of opportunity to learn and grow behind the Bears strong pass rushing core that\u2019s lead by Robert Quinn.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For rounds 3 and 5, we\u2019re going to go ahead and give the team a B- for the second of our Chicago Bears draft grades.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"sbi-embed-wrap\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media sbi-embed\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Cc_VKz6vDo5\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

7 &#8211; The Gem Hunt<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last, but certainly not least, comes the six draft picks the Bears used in rounds 6 and 7. Initially, Poles only had one selection past round 6, with pick number 186. But, like we talked about earlier, he turned to trades to acquire five more picks in the latter rounds. Here\u2019s who we selected:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>6th Round, Pick 186:<\/strong>\u00a0Zachary Thomas &#8211; Offensive Lineman from San Diego State<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Pick 203:<\/strong>\u00a0Trestan Ebner &#8211; Running Back from Baylor<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Pick 207:<\/strong> Doug Cramer &#8211; Center from Illinois<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>7th Round, Pick 226: <\/strong>Ja\u2019Tyre Carter &#8211; Offensive Lineman from Southern<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Pick 254:<\/strong> Elijah Hicks &#8211; Safety from California<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Pick 255:<\/strong>\u00a0Trenton Gill &#8211; Punter from NC State<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s quite a few guys if you ask us. Let\u2019s start with the sixth round picks:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/prospects\/zach-thomas\/32005448-4f41-0700-de26-4c02b0aacfb3\">Zachary Thomas<\/a> is a young lineman Poles sees as a piece of depth that can develop into a starter down the road with his athletic capabilities. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/prospects\/trestan-ebner\/32004542-4e18-9231-4f25-d77f6f5c137d\">Trestan Ebner<\/a> projects to make a splash on special teams as a return man. He had three kickoff returns in 2022 with Baylor. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfldraftbuzz.com\/Player\/Doug-Kramer-C-Illinois\">Doug Kramer<\/a> was the Bears last selection of the sixth round. As a quick and smart center, the Bears hope to watch him grow and develop early in his career.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At pick 226, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/prospects\/ja-tyre-carter\/32004341-5266-3013-5b76-1ba44a51a3aa\">Ja\u2019Tyre Carter<\/a> is another o-lineman that will need to develop in order to produce in the NFL. What he lacks in speed, he makes up for in pure strength, size, and length. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfldraftbuzz.com\/Player\/Elijah-Hicks-S-California\">Elijah Hicks<\/a>, the second safety the Bears chose in 2022, is a young prospect who will be competing for a roster spot in the Bear\u2019s needy secondary. And finally, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/prospects\/trenton-gill\/32004749-4c35-9729-cdd6-323853b2bf60\">Trenton Gill<\/a>, a punter from NC State who averaged 45.1 yards per punt his senior year. He\u2019ll look to compete with Ryan Winslow for the starting job now that Pat O\u2019Donnell is no longer with the team.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For rounds 6 and 7, we\u2019re putting some weight on the sheer volume of picks and giving out another B- for this Chicago Bears draft grade.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our Overall Chicago Bears Draft Grade<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All-in-all, we give the team a B for the last of our Chicago Bears draft grades. While they didn\u2019t go all-in on some weapons for Fields, they did address plenty of important concerns at the secondary and o-line. While a lot of their picks came in the later rounds, the Bears should be hopeful that at least one or two turn into serious starters in a few years. It\u2019ll be up to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/introducing-the-new-chicago-bears-coaching-staff\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the new coaching staff<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to help the young additions reach their potential. But, with Poles and Eberflus leading the way, our hopes are high that us Bears fans will have a lot more to cheer for soon!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Featured Image Credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/chicagobears\/\">Chicago Bears Instagram<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"post_meta post_meta_single\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last weekend\u2019s NFL Draft came and went faster than Tom Brady\u2019s return from retirement.
