Chicago moved up to the end of the sixth round by sending both #239 and #241 to the Buffalo Bills in exchange for pick #213. This trade showed once again that the last day of the 2026 NFL Draft isn’t going to follow conventional wisdom, but it could just mean that Brandon Beane continues not […]

Trades on the third day of the 2027 NFL Draft were frequent but still irregular, with a lot of unconventional values being assigned. The Jaguars moved up to gain an edge defender, paying 105% book value to move from 124 to 119 by sending pick 166 and only getting back pick 196. This continued a […]
With their first pick on Day 3 of the 2026 NFL Draft, the Chicago Bears have selected Malik Muhammad, a cornerback from the Texas Longhorns at 124 overall, after a trade up with the Carolina Panthers. The Bears sent picks 129 and 144 to Carolina for 124 and 166. Muhammad (6’, 189) has started 27 games the last […]
This trade isn’t quite as dynamic as the more famous trade Chicago made with Carolina, but the Bears did trade with the Panthers, allowing Carolina to shuffle down a second time after a move with the Las Vegas Raiders. They gave up #129 and #144 to get #124, receiving #166 in return. This was a […]
The Chicago Bears had quite the 2025 season, improving from 5-12 to 11-6 to become the NFC North champions and beat the Green Bay Packers in the playoffs. While the end was crushing, it was a huge stepping stone for the future for the Bears, who made a number of key moves to rebuild the […]
The Chicago Bears selected Iowa Hawkeyes center Logan Jones with the number 57 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. That pick came with a special caveat. For being pick “57,” Heinz 57 has awarded Jones a lifetime supply of free ketchup, as well as a special red jacket. One problem. Jones is headed to […]
Here’s how the first two days of the 2026 NFL Draft have shaped up for the Chicago Bears. 1 – Yay!2 – Okay3- Huh?4 – wtf What will day three bring? The Bears must believe their defensive line is better than what most fans think, because nary a big man has been selected for the […]
The first three rounds of the 2026 NFL Draft have c0me and gone. To say that they have not gone the way that Bears fans anticipated would be an understatement. With each of Chicago’s three selections on Day 2 of the draft, general manager Ryan Poles made all of his picks on the offensive side […]
The Chicago Bears have had a very surprising draft thus far. On Thursday, they had a player fall into their lap at 25, and we all rejoiced! But then yesterday, they seemed to reach for three players ahead of the consensus, none of whom played defense. A center, tight end, and wide receiver seemed more […]

With the No. 89 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, the Chicago Bears selected LSU wide receiver Zavion Thomas. The Bears needed depth at the wide receiver position going into the draft. Teams usually carry six wide receivers on their 53-man roster, and their WR5 and WR6 were J.P. Richardson and Maurice Alexander, respectively. Thomas […]
With the No. 69 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, the Chicago Bears selected Stanford tight end Sam Roush. The selection of a tight end within the first three rounds of the NFL Draft was a massive surprise, considering the Bears’ current tandem of Colston Loveland and Cole Kmet. However, they utilized last year’s third-string […]
With the No. 57 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, the Chicago Bears selected Iowa center Logan Jones. After the sudden retirement of Drew Dalman this offseason, the Bears had a last-second opening at center right before free agency.

With their third pick of the night, the Chicago Bears have selected LSU wide receiver Zavion Thomas with the 89th pick in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft. The theme of this offseason has been speed, and Thomas (5’10 3/8″, 190 pounds) ran a 4.28 forty at the NFL Combine. He can return […]
With their second pick on day 2 of the 2025 NFL Draft, the Chicago Bears have selected Sam Roush, a tight end from Stanford, with the 69th pick in the third round after a trade down from 60 with the Tennessee Titans. Roush (6’6”, 257) projects to a Y tight end, and with Ben Johnson’s […]
The Chicago Bears got a solid haul for DJ Moore this offseason, trading him to the Buffalo Bills for a high pick. Chicago sent a pick along with Moore to the Bills, so it’s worth taking a look at what both teams did with the selections as we leave the 2026 NFL Draft in the […]
Shortly after taking Iowa center Logan Jones, the Chicago Bears traded pick #60 to the Tennessee Titans in exchange for pick #69 and pick #144. This means that they gave up 300 points of value for only 279 points. This was yet another discount in a night that was full of them. The “DJ Moore […]
With the 57th pick in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft, the Chicago Bears have selected Iowa center Logan Jones.

The first day of the 2026 NFL Draft ended with a flurry of trades, and the second day picked up where Thursday night left off. The Raiders traded out within minutes, and the Houston Texans gave them #38 and #91 (656 points) in order to get #36 and #117 (600 points). So, that’s functionally a […]
With the Chicago Bears picking at 25 overall in the first round, the odds on them landing an impact player were low. Sure, the prospect at 25 was bound to be a rookie contributor, and there was always a chance he could have won a starting role in 2026, but Oregon’s Dillon Thieneman was the […]
Hello, Chicago Bears Fans! So let me set the scene for our discussion. I have been watching NFL Drafts since the early 1990s, mocking draft scenarios and rooting for player X or Y to drop to the Bears at our pick. I cannot tell you how often I have rooted for a player to drop […]
