Bears Draft 2022

The Bears were awful in cornerback coverage away from rising young star Jaylen Johnson last season and needed to make this a priority with their first pick. Gordon is a nice-sized cover man who gets physical and aggressive to make plays on the ball.

Grade: A

This is an indication the Bears will feature more three-safety looks in their secondary given Eddie Jackson and DeAndre Houston-Carson are pretty productive, although Jackson is deciling a bit. They went best defensive player available here, as Brisker is adept at making plays all over the field with his great speed and range plus smarts to read quarterbacks well in coverage.

Grade: A

The Bears did recognize their need for more speedy playmaking at wideout to complement Darnell Mooney and give Justin Fields a field-stretcher, but this is a bit of a head-scratcher for a mid Day 3 prospect. Jones burst well after the catch but needs work to be trusted in an expanded capacity.
