Everything you need to know about the 2022 NFL Draft and the Chicago Bears’ picks.
The answer depends on if you're looking for a player who far exceeded the expectations of a player selected in that round, or simply the best player the Bears ever drafted.
If it's simply the best player the Bears ever drafted, it's Walter Payton. He was the fourth overall pick in 1975 and went on to have a Hall of Fame career, finishing as the all-time leading rusher in NFL history at the time. He was also an integral part of the 1985 team that won the Bears' lone Super Bowl.
Other notable Bears' draft picks, Mike Singletary who was a second-round pick in 1981. Brian Urlacher who was the ninth-overall pick in 2000. Both of whom went to the Hall of Fame. If the criteria is player who far exceeded draft expectations, the answer is Richard Dent. He was the 203rd pick in the 1983 NFL Draft in the eighth round. The NFL doesn't even have an eighth round anymore. Dent was part of that vaunted 1985 defense that won Super Bowl XX -- and he was the MVP of that game. Dent was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2011.
