ESPN analysts praise Bears draft class

Here are the Bears Miller ranked in the top 100:

16. Darnell Wright, OT, Chicago Bears (Pick 1-10)

Miller’s pre-draft ranking: No. 20

“The Bears can roll with Braxton Jones at left tackle — a favorite of mine from the 2022 draft — after trading down twice and grabbing the best right tackle in the draft at No. 10 overall. Wright will be a foundational piece of the offensive line, but I’m also looking at the extra selections the Bears picked up to continue building.”

27. Tyler Scott, WR (Pick 4-133)

Miller’s pre-draft ranking: No. 57

“The selection of Scott at No. 133 was one of the best value picks when graded against my pre-draft rankings, where I had him No. 57 overall. Scott’s speed and vertical ability will work well in a wide receiver room that offers diverse skill sets, and his ability as a return man will also boost the Chicago special teams unit.”

44. Terell Smith, CB (Pick 5-165)

Miller’s pre-draft ranking: No. 77

“Smith came at an almost 90-spot value when he was drafted in the fifth round. His speed at cornerback is easy to spot on film, and he has huge developmental upside.”

46. Roschon Johnson, RB (Pick 4-115)

Miller’s pre-draft ranking: No. 86

“A do-it-all running back with awesome special teams ability and leadership skills, Johnson could be this year’s Dameon Pierce as a third-day back who ends up a lead ball carrier.”

68. Gervon Dexter Sr., DT (Pick 2-53)

Miller’s pre-draft ranking: No. 89

“The Bears didn’t add a starting-caliber defensive tackle in free agency, making it the team’s biggest need on defense heading into the draft. Dexter is an upside player who wasn’t used to his full potential at Florida. But in Chicago, he’ll be tasked with lining up at 3-technique and using his great first-step speed to disrupt the quarterback.”

82. Tyrique Stevenson, CB (Pick 2-56)

Miller’s pre-draft ranking: No. 88

“The Bears have thrown a lot of draft picks at the secondary, but the outside cornerback spot opposite Jaylon Johnson remains open because Kyler Gordon is at his best on the inside.”
