A Hinsdale Central alum is among Chicago Bears 2022 NFL Draft picks
"Well, I was hoping to get an offensive lineman. But we are rebuilding," said a fan.The first pick of the day was Southern Utah OT Braxton Jones as the 168th overall pick.
The Bears came in with issues to address on both sides, considering their offense ranked among the NFL's worst last year and the defense switching to a 4-3 front after playing a 3-4 for seven years. No quarterbacks went until 20th, when Pitt's Kenny Pickett found out he can simply switch to another side of the practice facility as he joins the Steelers and perhaps become Ben Roethlisberger's successor.The 6-foot-5, 275-pound Walker, who has some raw elements to his game but an extremely high ceiling for his skills, joins former Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence as the second straight top overall selection by the Jaguars.
Hutchinson, a sack-master whose consistency and relentlessness helped the Wolverines to their first College Football Playoff, is staying home as a pro. The 6-foot-6, 265-pounder whose father Chris was a star player at Michigan in the 1990s, was the Heisman Trophy runner-up last season.Cornerbacks Derek Stingley Jr. and Ahmad"Sauce" Gardner went next, to the Texans and Jets, respectively.
"It feels good legacy-wise," Ekwonu said."You know, kind of cemented myself in history of this draft class. I know this class is gonna be special.""My mom cried the second I picked the phone up," Ekwonu said."Honestly, it was just like surreal. Growing up being a Panthers fan and being able to play on a team that you grew up being a fan is really almost like a movie almost. It's crazy.
