After a season in which Bears’ right tackles gave up 32 pressures and eight sacks, Ryan Poles used his first-round pick on a big, violent right tackle who can keep the heat off Justin Fields. Welcome to Chicago, Darnell Wright.
“The main thing I tell them is: You see what I have done in a year and a half of just really, really focusing in and really trying to be my best self. You see what I did at the combine. You see the pro day. You see Senior Bowl,” Wright told NBC Sports Chicago in an exclusive interview before the draft. “You see, like, with just a little more attention to detail and a little more focus, you can see how far I’ve gotten. I don’t even feel like I’ve scratched the surface.
Wright's improved film study helped him lock up Anderson and also gave him several new tools for his pass-blocking repertoire. The Bears had a chance to draft Georgia defensive tackle Jalen Carter at No. 9, but elected to trade the No. 9 pick to the Philadelphia Eagles for No. 10 and a 2024 fourth-round pick. The Eagles selected Carter.
The Bears' selection of Wright is also a vote of confidence in left tackle Braxton Jones and a gift to quarterback Justin Fields.
