Chicago Bears 2022 Mock Draft: A New WR1 and OL Upgrades

The Chicago Bears address the offensive line issues and find a potential WR1 in the offense in this 2022 mock draft.

After a surprising start to the 2021 season, the Chicago Bears have started to sputter against better teams. The Packers loss hurt them a ton, and the shellacking at the hands of the Bucs certainly has fans and analysts looking ahead to 2022 for them.

So much of the drama for the Bears this season has surrounded head coach Matt Nagy, the coaching staff, and rookie quarterback Justin Fields. No one is absolved of guilt with the results produced on offense this season, but to check the box score and assume Fields is the major issue isn’t correct. Fields really hasn’t played terribly when given time to throw, but the offensive line has been a big let down, as neither Teven Jenkins nor Larry Borom have started a game yet.

The combination of limited time to throw, receivers dropping passes, the turnovers, and a lack of connection between Fields and top wide receiver Allen Robinson has created some serious stress in the building. Many are calling for Nagy to go, something that might be best for Fields’ development going forward.

It’s going to be an interesting second half for the Chicago Bears, and it might start by moving Robinson before the trade deadline. Robinson gets to go to a contender, something he hasn’t really had in his career, and the Bears get decent draft compensation for 2022, something they really need having currently four picks in the 2022 NFL Draft.

So what could the Bears do in the 2022 NFL Draft? Let’s take a look with this Chicago Bears mock draft that gives them a new WR1 and more reinforcements along the offensive line.
