The 2026 NFL Draft is underway, and the Chicago Bears have a busy night ahead of them on Day 2 as they look to add more difference makers to the roster.
After selecting Oregon safety Dillon Thieneman in the first round, the Bears have three selections between Rounds 2 and 3 -- Nos. 57 and 60 in the second round and No. 89 in the third round.
Chicago still has some positions to address on Day 2, including most importantly defensive tackle and edge rusher. It also presents an opportunity to find their center of the future following Drew Dalman's shocking retirement. Luckily, they have three prime selections to address those positions and land potential impact players along the way.

Here’s a look at who the latest mock drafts have the Bears selecting in Rounds 2 and 3.
57. Domonique Orange, DT, Iowa State: "Chicago may want to shore up its run defense after allowing the seventh-most rushing yards per game last season. Orange – a.k.a. "Big Citrus" – is another well-built nose tackle (6-2, 322 pounds) who should be an NFL-caliber run defender. He had just one sack during his college career but has the strength needed to find success as a bull rusher."
60. Gennings Dunker, OL, Iowa: "The Bears lost center Drew Dalman to a premature retirement during the offseason while left tackle Ozzy Trapilo may miss the 2026 season after suffering a torn patellar tendon. That could lead Chicago to target a versatile offensive lineman to provide depth to their unit. Offensive line coaches will love Dunker, who has NFL-caliber power and plays with a nasty edge, particularly in the running game. The college right tackle doesn’t quite have the athleticism needed to survive on the edge at the NFL level but could quickly emerge as a mauling guard."
89. LT Overton, EDGE, Alabama: "The Bears had a bottom-six pressure rate last season. Overton doesn't have the athleticism and burst for which teams typically look in an edge player, but his sizable 6-3, 274-pound frame should make him a quality edge-setter who can also play some snaps on the interior defensive line."

Keyron Crawford, EDGE, Auburn: "A rocked-up edge with terrific burst and acceleration, Crawford (6-5, 253) gets the most out of his body and comes with a deep bag of rush moves."
60. Antonio Williams, WR, Clemson: "The Bears moved on from D.J. Moore and could still use a little bit of receiver help. Why not grab a guy who plays a bit like Moore, albeit in a smaller frame?"
57. Gabe Jacas, Edge, Illinois: "The Bears went defense in Round 1 and they can stay there in Round 2 with Jacas. At 6-foot-4 and 261 pounds, he plays with big-time power and wracked up 26.5 tackles for loss the past two seasons."
60. Sam Hecht, C, Kansas State: "Waiting until Round 3 to grab a center might be possible given the depth of this class, but the Bears jump on Hecht here. He's my top center and is an elite run blocker."
57. Gabe Jacas, Edge, Illinois: "Jacas does not get talked about enough relative to how NFL teams think of him. There is a lot of confidence projecting him to a starting role, because he is going to shut down any outside runs and turn them back inside. Jacas is a physical player and an asset in the run game."
60. Mike Washington Jr., RB, Arkansas: "Washington is a bigger body who does not sacrifice explosion. He is a contributor in both the run and pass game, but the physicality is essential in Ben Johnson's offense."
TRADE - 60. WR Chris Bell, Louisville: After trading D.J. Moore to the Bills, it would only be fitting if the Bears found his replacement with Buffalo’s second-round pick. Bell’s career 5.8 yards after the catch per reception and usage versatility would be delightful in Ben Johnson’s offense.
57. Dani Dennis-Sutton, DE, Penn State: "Bears defensive coordinator Dennis Allen prefers bigger-bodied defensive ends, and the 6' 6", 256-pound Dennis-Sutton fits the bill. He has a diverse bag of pass-rush moves and a motor that always runs hot."
60. Chris Brazzell II, WR, Tennessee: "Brazzell’s physical tools are among the best in this receiving class. He’s long, athletic and a legitimate field-stretcher, and his size and ball skills make him productive above the rim."
57. Kyle Louis, LB Pitt: "The Bears love athletic defenders who can play a variety of roles. That's Louis."
60. Zxavian Harris, DT Ole Miss: "The Bears could use more big, quick linemen for the rotation. Harris is a steal here."
