Twitter isn’t loving the Bears’ selection of Jaquan Brisker in NFL draft
The Chicago Bears doubled down on defense in the second round of the 2022 NFL draft. After selecting cornerback Kyler Gordon, the Bears drafted defensive back Jaquan Brisker out of Penn State with their second pick of the round at 48th overall.
Brisker immediately upgrades a safety position that has underwhelmed the last few seasons. He’s versatile on defense and new head coach Matt Eberflus should have fun utilizing him in both run and passing coverages.
While the Bears are ecstatic with their pick, it appears the fans are not as happy they went with another defender instead of helping quarterback Justin Fields and the offense.
Here are the Twitter reactions from the Bears’ second pick of the evening.
I'm sure Bears fans will be fine. https://t.co/NrlUpHxgkP

Gonna be honest don’t love two defensive pick to start tho. Not gonna lose my mind cause it fits our needs and I like how Flus is building the defense up where we do have more holes imo

Who cares about helping your quarterback, right?

Sorry Justin.

Neither Gordon nor Brisker can play receiver, last time I checked, but it looks like both can start right away in the secondary.

I actually like Brisker … but Fields right now has to be hitting up LJackson and saying, "I feel you, my guy!"

Uhhhhh

Impossible for Fields to succeed in this organization #chicagobears

Brisker locks down the role for slot corner

The Bears secondary just became an enormous strength.

So what one of these DBs are they converting to WR?
Someone please tell this franchise it’s no longer 1985.

I’m a fan of Ryan Poles taking the best player available INSTEAD of drafting for need. Pick players that you know can play at a high level
— Herb Lawrence (@Ecnerwal23) April 30, 2022
Ryan Poles must have incredible faith in Justin Fields giving him the Aaron Rodgers treatment this early…
— 𝙇𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚 (@BestHumanTalent) April 30, 2022
first one was great, but two corners with the first two picks is absurd. I am over the ryan poles honeymoon officially. miss me with that defensive emphasis.

Would’ve liked offense but brisker is cool

Typical Bears…. defense defense defense… We're stuck in the 80's still thinking defense wins championships.

Some people may be upset but the Bears got 2 day 1 starters in the secondary with pro bowl potential
— Lucas Perfetti (@LucasPerfetti46) April 30, 2022
I'm not going to be upset until we pass on WR again in 2 hours.
The secondary is set, and it's good.

Agreed with the Gordon pick but definitely not a fan of that one.
Stop. Investing. In. Defense.

Here is my rapid, minutes-after-the-pick evaluation of the Bears' selection of Penn State S Jaquan Brisker at No. 48.
– Fills an obvious need.
– Some good OL and DL were available.
– Bears have obvious questions/concerns about the WR class.— Adam Jahns (@adamjahns) April 30, 2022
