Bears NFL Draft needs

• **Safety:**The Bears had one of the NFL's better safety rooms in 2025, with Kevin Byard, Jaquan Brisker, Jonathan Owens and C.J. Gardner-Johnson all contributing. None of those players are returning. Chicago partially addressed safety by signing former Seahawk Coby Bryant, but Ben Johnson still needs another playmaker alongside him.
• **EDGE:**The Bears could use some help for Montez Sweat, who posted 10.0 sacks in 2025 to lead the team. Only one other EDGE had more than 1.5, which was Austin Booker with 4.5 sacks. Adding another pass rusher opposite of Sweat could help elevate a Chicago defense that put up just 35 as a team last year.
• Offensive Tackle: The Bears' offensive line saw some changes this offseason, with Drew Dalman's retirement being the most surprising. However, with Ozzy Trapilo recovering from an injury, the Bears are currently set to have a LT competition including Braxton Jones and Theo Benedet. They could certainly pursue a rookie to lead that competition — or finding a longer-term center option than Garrett Bradbury would also be wise.
