Bears GM Ryan Poles’ first rookie class played key roles during the 2022 season. Headlined by second-round selections Kyler Gordon and Jaquan Brisker, Poles found some impact players who could develop into foundational pieces down the line.
Chicago’s best draft picks were Brisker, Gordon and fifth-round left tackle Braxton Jones. All three started from Day 1 and played a key role at their respective positions. Brisker was easily Poles’ best draft pick of the bunch, leading the team with four sacks and had the second-most tackles (104). He also served as the perfect complement to Eddie Jackson, who thrived in his return to free safety.
