Chicago Bears 2026 NFL Mock Draft: Trading down for an infusion of talent Why trading down in round one could set the stage for the Chicago Bears to draft a plethora of young talent in the 2026 NFL Draft.

A few trade downs, four picks in the first two rounds, and eight total selections.

Here we go.

2026 NFL Draft Scouting Report: S A.J. Haulcy, LSU Breaking down LSU Tigers safety A.J. Haulcy as a potential target for the Chicago Bears in the 2026 NFL Draft.

The #Bears still have needs to fill out on defense and with four picks in the top 100, LSU S A.J Haulcy could be a nice addition to the secondary.

But does he fit what the defense needs?

The #Bears have officially resigned QB Case Keemun and LB D’Marco Jackson, the team announced.

2026 NFL Draft Scouting Report: S Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, Toledo Breaking down Toledo Rockets safety Emmanuel McNeil-Warren as a potential target for the Chicago Bears in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Since Maxx Crosby failed his physical and the whole league knows that he isn’t 100%, his price just went down a ton.
The #Bears could pick up the phone and call but if the conversations start with two first round picks, it isn’t worth it.
Make it a first and next year’s third and now it’s a deal.

2026 NFL Draft Scouting Report: S Dillon Thieneman, Oregon Breaking down Oregon Ducks safety Dillon Thieneman as a potential target for the Chicago Bears in the 2026 NFL Draft.

After adding S Coby Bryant in free agency, the #Bears could look to pair him with a high upside draft pick.

Should Oregon’s Dillion Thienemann be a target?

Seems like the #Bears made a majority of their moves on day one of free agency.

But there is still a lot to look forward to including the possibility of Nahshon Wright and Kevin Byard returning, the status of DE Trey Hendrickson, and LT Taylor Decker.

Bear Debrief: Initial thoughts on the Bears free agent signings Discussing the Chicago Bears free agent signings with the NFL's league tampering period now open to start the 2026 offseason.

Some quick thoughts on the #Bears FA signings with the legal tampering period now open:

247sports.com/nfl/chicago-...

Quick #Bears mock draft with free agency set to begin today. This is assuming that Chicago is able to address LB and LT in free agency.

What would you add/change if anything?

2026 NFL Draft Scouting Report: IOL Matt Gulbin, Michigan State Breaking down Michigan State Spartans interior offensive lineman Matt Gulbin as a potential target for the Chicago Bears in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Despite trading a 2027 fifth-rounder for veteran Garrett Bradbury, the #Bears still need to figure out the center position.

Is Michigan State’s Matt Gulbin an option?

On Bear Report: 247sports.com/nfl/chicago-...

With 105 starts since 2019, Garrett Bradbury brings experience, versatility, and command of the OL #Bears get a home run of a pick for a 2027 fifth rounder.

The #Bears have officially released LB Tremaine Edmunds and placed C Drew Dalman on the reserve/retired list.

2026 NFL Draft Scouting Report: IOL Logan Jones, Iowa Breaking down Iowa Hawkeyes interior offensive lineman Logan Jones as a potential target for the Chicago Bears in the 2026 NFL Draft.

As the #Bears continue searching for Drew Dalman’s replacement, Iowa OL Logan Jones could be an interesting name to monitor.

Top free agent targets at safety for Chicago Bears in 2026 With no safties under contract for 2026, the Chicago Bears could use the NFL Free Agent market to fill both safety spots on defense.

As the #Bears continue focusing on free agency, there are a handful of veteran safeties the team could bring in to shore up the position.

A preview on Bear Report: 247sports.com/nfl/chicago-...

Linebackers are impressing at the scouting combine. Wouldn’t be surprised to see the #Bears take one in round two at this point.

Today proves that Chicago’s big board is going to look very different after this week. #NFLDraft

The #Bears have released veteran LB Amen Ogbongbemiga, the team announced.

The #Bears will have a number of decisions to make in 2026 and freeing up cap space will be one of them.

What does that mean for TE Cole Kmet? More on Bear Report: 247sports.com/nfl/chicago-...

Yes, would be a hybrid between the Sean Payton and Ben Johnson offense.

One of the biggest wins of the offseason would be if the #Bears were able to retain both Declan Doyle and Al Harris, despite Ben Johnson saying that he's got assistants on staff getting job inquires elsewhere.
