Since going 12-4 and winning the NFC North in 2018, it’s been pretty much all downhill for the Chicago Bears after ostensibly bottoming out last year at 3-14.

Given all the rust, however, it’s hard to think of Thomas as even a top 50 option for 2023. Consider him a low-end WR4 or bye-week option.

In an effort to take the next step and become a playoff team, the Lions have added a ton of new faces since the start of the draft, including eight picks plus 14 undrafted free agents. Clearly, they’re not all going to wind up on the final 53-man roster, but there should a ton of competition for jobs come training camp.

Bateman certainly showed potential as a deep threat in his sophomore season, but a Lisfranc injury that required November surgery derailed things. There’s a ton of upside here if he can stay on the field.

But he has not signed the tag, and obviously still wants a new contract so small wonder he was MIA from workouts.

Coming off a disappointing season in which they finished 8-9 (third in the AFC East), the New England Patriots need a strong draft showing to help them return to the playoffs in 2023. So which direction will they go in the draft?

Hill’s role will be much larger this season, but just how good this pair will be remains an open question. Will the Bengals use the draft to add to their secondary? The team has a few positions of need (including tight end, defensive back and running back), but we’re anticipating that they’ll grab a safety or cornerback with their second or third pick to help shore up the secondary.
