The Bears should be in the market for a WR or two this offseason—via free agency and/or the 2022 NFL Draft. BryanPerezNFL breaks down why George Pickens is an ideal target for Chicago with its 1st draft pick. FrontOffice33 | DaBears
Georgia Bulldogs wide receiver George Pickens once looked like he was destined to be the next great NFL draft prospect. His 2019 freshman season at Georgia, when he registered 49 catches for 727 yards and eight touchdowns, placed him on the launching pad to superstardom. COVID-19’s impact on college football in 2020 limited him to just eight games, 513 yards, and six scores, but Pickens was still almost universally regarded as a first-round wideout entering the 2021 offseason.
The Bears don’t have a first-round pick thanks to the 2021 draft-day trade for Justin Fields. They do have a second-rounder, No. 39 overall, which could be the sweet spot for Pickens’ final draft value once April rolls around. In fact, The Athletic’s Dane Brugler published hisPickens, at full health, may just be the best wide receiver in the 2022 NFL Draft.
For the Bears, a player like Pickens makes almost too much sense. He’s an estimated 6-foot-3 and 200 pounds and is equal parts field-stretcher and contested-catch wizard. He’d be a perfect complement to Darnell Mooney and help give the Bears a dynamic, young one-two punch to grow with Fields.
