New Bears 7-round mock draft

The Chicago Bears made a pair of significant staffing decisions this week when the front office decided to keep head coach Matt Eberflus but not retain the services of offensive coordinator Luke Getsy.

This move tells us the team wants to remain committed to quarterback Justin Fields and so that’s the approach we took with this new seven-round mock draft. Get Fields help on offense and keep building on defense.

First round – WR Marvin Harrison Jr., Ohio State

First round – OT Olu Fashanu, Penn State

Penn State left tackle Olu Fashanu (74) gets set before a play against West Virginia at Beaver Stadium September 2, 2023, in State College.

The Bears have a couple of solid, not spectacular offensive tackles but neither are good enough to pass on Olu Fashanu who is a franchise left tackle.

Third round – CB Caelen Carson, Wake Forest

This pick is a must if Jaylon Johnson leaves in free agency. Carson is a great athlete with exceptional instincts for coverage and offers scheme versatility.

Fourth round – DT Maason Smith, LSU
