Bear Goggles On

● By Cameron Henderson
With the first pick in the 2023 NFL Mock Draft, the Chicago Bears select Peter Skoronski, guard (was a tackle), Northwestern. I don't know what I need to tell you about Skoronski that you already don't know. He is a blue-chip player. Yes, Tyree Wilson was still on the board, and I would likely draft him if he were available on the board. However, I don't expect him to make it past Seattle. My draft plan for the second day depends on acquiring Skoronski. Ryan Poles said he has a certain number of blue players that could be available with the ninth overall selection. Some available are Tyree Wilson, Peter Skoronski, and Devon Witherspoon. I truly believe those are the only ones who he considers blue that will be there. Each of those players would drastically change the plan of the draft. If I choose Witherspoon early, I won't touch a cornerback for the rest of the draft. If I choose Wilson, I need to rely upon Whitehair and Jenkins more to start the offseason training program.
