Many Chicago Bears had polarizing feelings about drafting a running back from Texas in the 2023 NFL Draft. The Bears took one–in the fourth round. Most draft analysts considered Bijan Robinson the best running back in the draft. He was taken with the eighth overall pick by the Atlanta Falcons. The Bears drafted his teammate, Roschon Johnson, on Day 3 of the draft. Bears fans expressed their feelings on the pick shortly after it was announced.
General manager Ryan Poles has played it pretty safe in this draft. He took a top offensive lineman with his first pick. He added much-needed help to the defense on Day 2. The Bears still need pass-rush help at the defensive end positions.
There weren’t many great options for a defensive end in the fourth round, so Poles took a running back that can run well, catch the ball, pass block, and contribute to special teams. Running back was an area of need after losing David Montgomery to free agency and signing committee help at running back in March.

My favorite pick of the Bears. He would have been a starter at any other school but was behind THE DUDE! Low tread but massively talented. https://t.co/4ZmOBcs8KY
