The Chicago Bears are looking forward to the 2026 NFL Draft, holding the 25th overall pick after finishing the previous season with an 11-6 record. General manager Ryan Poles is expected to continue his strategy of selecting the best available talent. Among the dream prospects for the Bears are David Bailey, the top EDGE rusher from Texas Tech, who is likely to be drafted in the top five. Another standout is Caleb Downs, a safety from Ohio State, who possesses the instincts and versatility that would greatly benefit Chicago's defense, though he is projected to be a top-10 pick. Offensive line prospects like Olaivavega Ioane from Penn State and Monroe Freeling from Georgia are also on the wish list, with both being top talents in their positions. Lastly, while cornerback is not a primary need, Mansoor Delane from LSU, the best cornerback in the draft, could provide a significant boost to the Bears' secondary. However, the likelihood of these prospects being available at No. 25 is slim.
