Bears 2026 mock drafts: Who Chicago is projected to take in Rounds 2-3

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.
