Chicago Bears fans have finally made it to draft day, and all eyes will be on general manager Ryan Poles to make the right choice at pick 25.
The Bears will have plenty of positions to focus on: offensive line, safety, edge rusher, defensive tackle, and wide receiver. Poles will be viewed on what he does in this draft after nailing four great picks a season ago.
This mock draft used PFSN's mock draft simulator to make the predictions. Here is Bear Goggles On's 2026 final mock draft.
Bear Goggles On's final 2026 mock draft
Round 1, Pick 25: Kadyn Proctor, OT (Alabama)
This is just as surprising as anyone could have imagined, as Proctor somehow fell to 25 in the mock draft simulator, but the Bears won't complain. Despite edge being a need, all signs are leaning towards Chicago wanting to find a solution at left tackle, and not only would Proctor fill that need, but also secure the position for years. The Bears would have to figure out what to do about Ozzy Trapilo after he recovers from his injury, as Proctor is a selection that screams Day 1 starter.
Round 2, Pick 57: Caleb Banks, DT (Florida)
All indications are that Banks will be ready to hit the field in the summer, so if he drops in the second round, the Bears would be crazy not to take him. He's a first-round talent that only dropped because of his injury, but he can do all the necessary things at tackle, from stopping the run to creating enough havoc to help the pass rush. Grady Jarrett won't be playing in Chicago long, and putting Banks with Gervon Dexter makes them a great DT duo for a long time.
Round 2, Pick 60: Treydan Stukes, CB (Arizona)
What a great selection and steal this would be if the Bears are able to nab Stukes in the second round after all the buzz that has been around him, as FanSided had him ranked 32nd on their Big Board. Chicago could either throw Stukes at safety, like many draft experts have been looking at him to play, or move him as the new starting nickel corner and bump Kyler Gordon back to safety with Coby Bryant. Either way, Stukes is a Day 1 starter the Bears would be ecstatic about.
Round 3, Pick 89: Dani Dennis-Sutton, EDGE (Penn State)
In reality, the Bears probably need to go edge rusher sooner, but with so many steals early on, this year's draft makes it easier to wait on a good pass rusher in Day 2. Dennis-Sutton isn't an elite edge rusher, but he can develop into a solid starter in the NFL. The Bears are still big fans of Austin Booker, so Dennis-Sutton may not start, but he is a great rotational piece, with Montez Sweat still the top pass rusher.
Round 4, Pick 129: Parker Brailsford, C (Alabama)
There were a few options at center, but Brailsford feels like the safest choice at center based on his being a natural at the position and the level of competition he has faced. Plus, there's no pressure on the Bears to pick a center high as Garrett Bradbury will hold down the job for at least 2026. Brailsford feels like he could be a starter, and what a perfect situation this would be for him to wait one year behind Bradbury before Chicago could turn the keys over to him at center.
Round 7, Pick 239: CJ Daniels, WR (Miami (FL))
At 6-foot-2, Daniels does all the basic things needed at wide receiver and is great at making the tough acrobatic catches. Injuries are a concern for him, and he never really put up elite numbers at the college level. He's a guy that head coach Ben Johnson can just throw in there and develop without the pressure of being a Day 1 contributor with Rome Odunze, Luther Burden, Kalif Raymond, and Jahdae Walker already there.

Round 7, Pick 241: Robert Henry, RB (UTSA)
Running back is not a need for Chicago, but Henry is a good talent who would be considered the best player available at the moment. D'Andre Swift is most likely out after the 2026 season, so Henry gives the Bears an undersized, but quick back to work alongside Kyle Monangai for the future. Monangai was a seventh-round pick last year, so why not do it again and find another Day 3 hidden gem?
