April is finally here, Chicago Bears fans, which means the 2026 NFL Draft will soon be upon us. And while we all know the overwhelming likelihood that the Bears will take a defensive player with their first pick in this year’s draft—wherever that happens—the options for who and what position remain pretty fluid at this […]
The Bears and Packers are must see TV each and every time they line up across from one another. In fact, their last five contests (dating back to the end of the 2024 season) have come down to the last play of the game. The Packers are the Bears biggest rival — and it ain’t […]

This season, the Detroit Lions saw many veteran players who had been with the team for several years walk out the door in free agency. It was clear players like Alex Anzalone and Graham Glasgow weren’t like to come back, but for a player like punt returner/wideout Kalif Raymond, it wasn’t as sure. It turns […]
With their offense more or less locked in for 2026 (aside from some offensive line depth), the Chicago Bears look poised to use the majority of their top four picks in Rounds 1-3 on the defensive side of the ball.
