Needs by priority
Why
The Chicago Bears' current priorities begin at offensive tackle (OT) and cornerback (CB). Wide receiver (WR) and pass rusher (EDGE) are the next groups that should be reinforced heading into the 2027 NFL Draft.

How he drafts
Track record read
Since Ryan Poles' arrival, the Bears pivoted to building around the quarterback, investing heavily in Caleb Williams and a top-tier receiver like Rome Odunze. Prior to that, the secondary was prioritized with picks like Gordon and Brisker, demonstrating a clear emphasis on protecting the middle of the field and the deep zones. The pattern suggests a preference for high-floor athletes from major conferences, though the decision to draft an offensive tackle like Darnell Wright in 2023 also underscores a commitment to the trenches.
The board · Rounds 1–7
Only the rounds where the team owns a pick (per Tankathon). A blend of need plus best value on the board.
First round
3 names
Iowa
OTPlugs their pass pro leak outside with textbook mechanics. High-floor Day 1 starter; the anchor against NFL power is the only question.
Ole Miss
DLInstant anchor to eat double teams inside for Chicago. High floor against the run; the pass rush is still pure push.
Alabama
EDGEThe electric get-off Chicago's edge front is missing. Zero counters on tape yet, but the athletic ceiling justifies the gamble.
Second round
3 names
SMU
OTPlugs Chicago's tackle void with disciplined pass sets. High-floor pass protector, though he won't generate much push in the run game.
Texas Tech
DLLength and pure power to slide between 3-tech and 5-tech. Lower the pad level and he’s an instant-impact starter.
Oregon
EDGEThe heavy edge Chicago needs to seal the perimeter. Limited bend turning the corner, but instant anchor and pocket push.
Third round
3 names
Ohio State
OTBrings the massive frame and clean feet Chicago's tackle room lacks. Very little tape, but that physical mold is worth developing.
Miami
DLHeavy-handed interior penetration for Chicago's front. Instant rotational piece whose ceiling hinges on holding up against double-teams.
Texas State
EDGEInjects pure speed into Chicago's edge rotation on third downs. Too light to set the edge, but that get-off earns immediate snaps.
