The Chicago Bears welcomed 10 new rookies to the roster during the 2023 NFL draft, which includes plenty of reinforcements on defense and some offensive help for Justin Fields.

Chicago found some impact starters and potential steals, including top selection, offensive tackle Darnell Wright and running back Roschon Johnson and wide receiver Tyler Scott.

General manager Ryan Poles addressed the defense with seven of his selections, including three defensive tackles (Gervon Dexter, Zacch Pickens, Travis Bell), three defensive backs (Tyrique Stevenson, Terell Smith, Kendall Williamson) and a linebacker (Noah Sewell).

Following the NFL draft, here’s a look at where the Bears roster stands ahead of the 2023 NFL draft (not including undrafted free agents):
