Justin Fields had an impressive season in 2022 and firmly cemented himself as the quarterback in Chicago. 

Now, general manager Ryan Poles is tasked with improving the roster around the impressive QB. Adding DJ Moore greatly improves the receiver group, and Nate Davis will be a steady presence on the interior of the line. 

However, the 2023 NFL Draft is a crucial one for the Bears. Here, I take a stab at a full seven-round mock draft for the Bears. This mock was created using Pro Football Network's mock simulator, with trades turned off. 

Round 1 Pick 9: Peter Skoronski, OL, Northwestern 

In this mock, the Bears take a local product. 

Skoronski starred for nearby Northwestern in college and grew up in nearby Park Ridge, IL. Interestingly, Skoronski's grandfather, Bob, played for the Bears' hated rival Packers. 

Skoronski is arguably the most talented tackle in this class. His 6'4", 294 lb frame is deceptively agile and he holds up well in pass coverage and as a run blocker. 

The top prospect also played in the Big Ten, so he is used to going against quality edge-rushers. Some analysts see Skoronski as a guard, but in this scenario, I see him as a left tackle. 

With Skoronski manning the blindside, Teven Jenkins slides back over to right tackle. This is the smart pick here. 

Round 2 Pick 53: Siaki Ika, DT, Baylor

No team had fewer sacks than the Bears in 2022, and only one team was worse against the run. Ika would help in both aspects. 

Ika won't break any sack records, but he will require a double-team which will free up other pass-rushers. 

Also, his massive 6'4", 350 lb frame clogs running lanes and he can even swat a pass or two. Ika had 24 tackles and two tackles for loss in 2022. 

While those numbers don't jump off the page, it's because opponents simply didn't run his direction. 

The Bears desperately need talent on the defensive line. Ika provides just that. 

Round 2 Pick 61: Cedric Tillman, WR, Tennessee

After selecting Velus Jones Jr. in 2022, the Bears take another Tennessee receiver in 2023. 

While Jalin Hyatt has emerged as the top receiver prospect from Tennessee, let's not forget that Tillman was the top guy before his injury. 

Tillman caught 64 passes for 1,081 yards and 12 TDs in 2021. In 2022, the talented WR caught 37 passes for 417 yards and three touchdowns in just six games. 

If Tillman played a full season in 2022, it's very likely he would have been a first-round pick in this draft. Instead, the Bears get him in the second round and pair him with DJ Moore, Chase Claypool, and Darnell Mooney.

Round 3 Pick 64: Cody Mauch, OL, North Dakota State

The Bears again address the offensive line here. 

Mauch is a massive 6'6" lineman from North Dakota State, so playing in the cold weather won't be anything new. He is a plus run blocker who receives high marks for his footwork and. 

He will probably be relegated to guard in the NFL due to his arm size, but the Bears could use another guard anyway. 

This may seem like a luxury pick considering the Bears have Nate Davis and Cody Whitehair, but you can never have too many offensive linemen.

Round 4 Pick 103: Daiyan Henley, LB, Washington State

Henley is an interesting prospect. The linebacker transferred to Washington State after spending time at Nevada. 

At Nevada, Henley was actually a wide receiver who even returned kicks. Henley transitioned full-time to defense in 2021.

In his first season with Washington State, Henley collected 106 tackles, four sacks, and three forced fumbles. 

He won't be ready to start immediately at LB in the NFL, but he won't have to in Chicago. Henley would be an immediate special teams contributor, and could develop into a rotational linebacker. 

Round 4 Pick 133: Isaiah McGuire, EDGE, Missouri

McGuire would be a very solid mid-round selection for the Bears. 

The edge rusher would likely be a defensive end in the Bears' 4-3 defense. The Bears need depth at this position, and McGuire could immediately be a rotational player. 

McGuire has a high motor and is relentless against the run. The edge rusher is used to playing against top talent as well, being in the SEC. 

Round 5 Pick 136: Chase Brown, RB, Illinois

The Bears will have a new starting running back in 2023 after David Montgomery signed with the division-rival Lions. 

Currently, the Bears have D'Onta Foreman, Khalil Herbert, and Travis Homer on the roster at the position. While Foreman is a solid player, Homer is mostly a special-teamer, and Herbert isn't much of a receiving threat. 

Chase Brown had a oorderline Heisman-worthy season in 2022, collecting 1,643 yards on the ground and adding 27 receptions. 

At this point in the draft, a situational running back is worthy of a pick. 

Round 5 Pick 148: Michael Wilson, WR, Stanford

Wilson is likely to fall in the draft due to his lengthy injury history. 

The receiver suffered two season-ending injuries at Stanford, and has not played a full season since 2019. 

However, when healthy, Wilson has been extremely productive. In 2019, the receiver collected 56 catches for 672 yards and five touchdowns. 

Wilson has good size to be an outside receiver in the NFL, standing at 6'2", 210 lbs. Wilson is worth a flier this late and would complete a room that already features Mooney, Claypool, Moore, Jones, and Tillman. 

Round 7 Pick 218: Nick Herbig, EDGE, Wisconsin

Herbig had an extremely productive 2022 season, finishing with 11 sacks and 15.5 tackles for loss for the Badgers. 

The only problem is Herbig's size. Herbig will need to put on weight to be a 4-3 defensive end, and probably doesn't have the speed or coverage skills to play 4-3 outside linebacker. 

A project edge rusher who was productive in college is exactly the type of player you take at this point in the draft. The Bears just need depth here. 

Round 7 Pick 258: Tashawn Manning, OG, Kentucky 

Manning has the size to be a guard in the league. The only problem is his consistency.

Manning was a part of a wildly-inconsistent Kentucky offensive line in 2022. His footwork looked sloppy at times, and he can get thrown off balance occasionally. 

Manning could spend a year on a practice squad, but the Bears just need to stack depth on the offensive line.
