We’re slowly but surely coming to the end of the Chicago Bears 2023 mock draft season. With only three weeks left before NFL draft weekend is here, the list of potential players the Bears could choose at No. 9 has shrunk.
While we still don’t know exactly who the Chicago Bears will select in the first round, it feels safe to predict it’ll be an offensive lineman. Whether it’s the versatile Peter Skoronski (Northwestern) or a more traditional offensive tackle like Paris Johnson Jr., the Bears’ starting lineup will improve.
The names flip and flop depending on which Bears mock draft you read. In the latest three-round mock from The Athletic’s Nick Baumgardner, GM Ryan Poles goes the traditional route in the first round with Paris Johnson Jr.
Here are all of the Chicago Bears’ selections in The Athletic’s mock draft:
No. 9 (via CAR): Paris Johnson Jr., OT, Ohio State
No. 53 (via BAL): Tyler Scott, WR, Cincinnati
No. 61 (via CAR): Clark Phillips III, CB, Utah
No. 64: Adetomiwa Adebawore, DL, Northwestern
