ESPN's Jeremy Fowler shares insight on some of the Bears' rookies
ESPN Staff Writer Jeremy Fowler made a list of key intels on all 32 teams after the 2022 NFL draft.
Here is what he had to say on the Bears draft class:
New Bears general manager Ryan Poles' first pick was a good one. Multiple scouts said Kyler Gordon (No. 39 overall) was their favorite cornerback in the draft due to his competitive nature and versatility, along with the ability to play in the slot or on the outside.
"Both of those [University of] Washington corners [Gordon and Trent McDuffie] will play for a long time and have a chance to be Pro Bowl-type players," an AFC scout said. "Gordon is one of my favorite players in the draft. I think he was undersold in the process."
Fifth-round pass-rusher Dominique Robinson also was listed by multiple scouts pre-draft as a late-round sleeper. Keep an eye on him.

I think he was spot on. I have heard on many occasions that the scouts were 50/50 on who was the better prospect between McDuffie and Gordon. Both are amazing players that have a great future ahead of them. While I also think Poles made good choices in the last two rounds by drafting a lot of offensive linemen, I agree that the most intriguing pick on Day 3 was clearly pass-rusher Dominique Robinson. His ceiling is extremely high.
