KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Finding a franchise quarterback is the quickest path to success so it’s no surprise teams made them a priority in the NFL draft.

Here is the moment Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Poles and head coach Matt Eberflus called Darnell Wright to tell him he was being drafted.

The Bears have three picks on Day 2 of the 2023 NFL draft. Here's where they'll be picking on Friday night:

By ANDREW SELIGMAN AP Sports Writer LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) — The Chicago Bears selected Tennessee offensive tackle Darnell Wright with the No. 10 overall pick

Utah cornerback Clark Phillips III, East High defensive tackle Siaki Ika and BYU offensive tackle Blake Freeland lead the remaining available Utah ties as the 2023 NFL draft heads into Rounds 2 and 3.

From his dominant outing against Will Anderson to making Bears draft history, here are five things to know about new OT Darnell Wright.

Finding a franchise quarterback is the quickest path to success so it’s no surprise teams made them a priority in the NFL draft. Bryce Young, C.J. Stroud and Anthony Richardson were among the top four picks Thursday night, an expected result in a rich draft class that’s been anticipated since last year. The surprise in the first round was that Will Levis didn't hear his name called.

Darnell Wright's draft rise ended Thursday when the Bears selected their "top tackle" ahead of Peter Skoronski and Broderick Jones. Had Paris Johnson Jr., been on the board, the decision would have been the same.

The Bears moved down one spot to draft Darnell Wright but mulled another offer to move down even further, according to Ryan Poles.
