Chicago Bears criticized for potential NFL Draft reach
The Chicago Bears added some potentially major upgrades to quarterback Caleb Williams‘ supporting cast during the 2025 NFL Draft, and on the heels of what was an underwhelming haul from the 2024 draft, this year’s class has garnered significant praise.
However, even after adding two weapons in the passing game who seem to have the traits to develop into dynamic playmakers, in tight end Colston Loveland and wide receiver Luther Burden III, not everyone is sold on every pick that general manager Ryan Poles and the Bears made over the weekend.
“Too early” did Chicago Bears reach in the middle of the NFL Draft?
CBS Sports’ Josh Edwards put together a list of each team’s most questionable choice during the NFL Draft, including the Bears’ selecting linebacker Ruben Hyppolite in the fourth round.
“Hyppolite is an undersized linebacker,” Edwards writes of the Bears selecting Hyppolite. “Who blew up after testing well at his pro day but the production did not match the athletic potential. Hyppolite can be an immediate contributor on special teams but it is difficult to pin down where he could help on defense. The fourth round seemed too early for that type of project.”
The risk of Hyppolite becoming a “workout warrior” seem very real, especially after the former University of Maryland standout ran the 40-yard dash in a blazing 4.39 seconds during the Terrapins’ pro day but capped his collegiate career with just 138 tackles and three sacks across four-plus seasons in College Park.
Production in college doesn’t always translate to the trajectory of an NFL career, and teams typically spend Saturday of the NFL Draft looking for certain traits that they can deploy either on special teams or specific situations throughout the course of games in hopes of developing prospects into more complete players as their careers progress.
That could be some of the thought process Poles and the Bears had in selecting Hyppolite, at a position where the Bears needed to emerge from the draft with some quality depth in tow.
