As the oldest franchise in the league, the Chicago Bears have had their fair share of draft hits and misses.
In recent years, though, things are looking more positive than ever. Having a guy like Caleb Williams leading the franchise probably feels like a bit of a dream for most fans, but between he and some of the other recent draft selections of the past couple of years, fans are justifiably anxious for the future.
The Bears appear to have their franchise quarterback in Williams, and will continue to build this thing around he and the core players currently on the roster.
When it comes to the draft and future capital, the Bears organization has done a number of deals in recent years, completely shifting the landscape of what draft weekend has looked like. In 2024, the team entered in with just four picks. In the end, all that mattered was that the team came away with Williams. The rest of the class was but a pure bonus. In 2025, though, Chicago has some extra capital to work with.
How do future drafts look like in terms of the amount of picks for the Bears? Let's quickly dive in.
Chicago Bears draft picks in 2025
Round 1
Round 2
Round 2 (via CAR)
Round 3
Round 5
Round 6
Round 6 (via MIA)
Round 6 (via PIT)
A couple of notes from the above list. The additional second rounder, from Carolina, comes by way of the Bears' trade that sent the first overall pick to the Panthers in 2023, landing them Bryce Young.
The Bears traded their 2025 fourth-round pick in order to move up and draft Austin Booker in the 2024 NFL Draft.
The sixth-round pick from Miami is from the Chase Claypool trade, which also explains the lack of a seventh rounder. Chicago traded Claypool and a seventh for Miami's sixth.
Finally, the sixth-round pick from Pittsburgh could turn into a fourth rounder if Justin Fields were to play 51 percent of snaps during the 2024 season.
Unlike their 2025 capital, the Bears' list of 2026 picks doesn't feature a single change -- yet. For now, all picks are intact.
Bears draft picks in 2026:
Round 1
Round 2
Round 3

No notes to make for 2026, just yet and, similar to this list, Chicago has not made any moves including 2027 capital, either.
