The Chicago Bears are gearing up for the 2026 NFL Draft, where they’re slated to have seven picks, including four in the Top 89.
After picking 25th overall in the first round, the Bears have a pair of second rounders, after trading wide receiver DJ Moore to the Buffalo Bills, which earned them the 60th overall pick. Chicago has a slew of needs to address on their roster, but it’ll all come down to how the board falls for general manager Ryan Poles and head coach Ben Johnson.
When looking at the history of the No. 60 pick, there haven’t been any true stars that have emerged, but there have been some reliable options, most notably on defense. Can Chicago find a future starter at 60th overall? Only time will tell.

The Bears have a slew of positions to address in the draft, so depending on what they do in Round 1, there will be options across the board. At safety, players like Arizona’s Treydan Stukes, LSU’s AJ Haulcy and USC’s Kamari Ramsey could be available. At edge rusher, UCF’s Malachi Lawrence, Penn State’s Dani Dennis-Sutton and Illinois’ Gabe Jacas are potential options. At offensive line, Kansas State center Sam Hecht, Aburn center Connor Lew and Northwestern tackle Caleb Tiernan could be options. Finally, at defensive tackle, Oklahoma’s Gracen Halton could be in play.
