Round 1

The Chicago Bears have traded the 25th pick in the 2026 NFL Draft to the Las Vegas Raiders.

Bears receive picks #36, 102 & 2027 second.

I think the recent buzz surrounding the Bears and offensive tackles is a smokescreen, an attempt to entice a team to move up for one. They get Vegas, who needs to protect their new franchise QB, to bite.

Round 2

With the 36th pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, the Chicago Bears select…

Chris Johnson-CB-San Diego State

Last year, the Bears shocked everyone when they drafted Colton Loveland. No one saw it coming, because they hadn’t been linked to him at all in the pre-draft process. I think something similar could happen this year.

The Bears, at different times, have been linked to edge rushers, safeties, offensive & defensive tackles, but rarely corners. I think that’s the bluff.

I like the value at cornerback in the 25-40 range more than any other position and I’m betting the Bears do, too.

Chris Johnson is my #3 CB in this class, so it was an easy pick once the Bears were on the clock. Tennessee’s Colton Hood, South Carolina’s Brandon Cisse & Clemson’s Avieon Terrell could also be in play.

Others Considered– Missouri edge Zion Young & Illinois edge Gabe Jacas.

The Chicago Bears have traded the 57th pick in the 2026 NFL Draft to the Tennessee Titans.

Bears receive picks #66, 142 & 184 in exchange for pick #57.

The Bears don’t have a pick between the fourth and seventh rounds. I saw an opportunity here to add one in each of the fifth and sixth rounds by only moving down nine spots.

With the 60th pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, the Chicago Bears select…

De’Zhaun Stribling-WR-Ole Miss

A little bit of a reach here, but I had to have Stribling. He was born to play for Ben Johnson.

Others Considered– Kansas State center Sam Hecht

Round 3

With the 66th pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, the Chicago Bears select…

Dani Dennis-Sutton-EDGE-Penn State

DDS looks like a prototypical Dennis Allen defensive end.

Others Considered– Sam Hecht & Michigan edge Derrick Moore.

The Baltimore Ravens have traded the 80th pick in the 2026 NFL Draft to the Chicago Bears.

Bears give up picks #89 & 142 in exchange for pick #80.

I was worried about missing out on a starting caliber safety, so I used the fifth round pick the Bears got from Tennessee to move up nine spots and secure one.

With the 80th pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, the Chicago Bears select…

Kamari Ramsey-S-USC

Ramsey’s skill set mirrors Coby Bryant. Pairing the two will allow the Bears to disguise coverages very well.

Others Considered– Sam Hecht & South Carolina safety Jalon Kilgore.

Round 4

With the 102nd pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, the Chicago Bears select…

Brian Parker II-C-Duke

Missed out on Hecht because I think the Bears would prioritize other positions. Parker has considerable upside, though.

Others Considered– Boston College offensive tackle Jude Bowry.

With the 129th pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, the Chicago Bears select…

Nicholas Singleton-RB-Penn State

Nicholas Singleton is one of my draft crushes. I really hope he ends up in Chicago.

Others Considered– Southeast Louisiana defensive tackle Kaleb Proctor, Oregon offensive tackle Isaiah World & Michigan tight end Marlin Klein.

Round 6

With the 184th pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, the Chicago Bears select…

JC Davis-OT-Illinois

Bears do take an offensive tackle, just much later than most expect.

Others Considered– Navy defensive tackle Landon Robinson.

Round 7

With the 239th pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, the Chicago Bears select…

DJ Rogers-TE-TCU

Developmental third tight end.

With the 241st pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, the Chicago Bears select…

Aaron Hall-DT-Duke

Developmental rotational piece for the defensive line.
