"I expect the Bears front office to attack the team's needs along the defensive line via possible trades, free agency additions, and draft picks. Moreover, I figure that the Bears' plan of attack will look something like how it did when it went about upgrading the offensive line last offseason. Chicago's front office used trades for Joe Thuney and Jonah Jackson,"
"I found this to be enlightening and eye-opening: It's a deep, deep group. 16 EDGE prospects made my top-100 and they're all going to go.Not that anyone needed a reminder, but the Seahawks' Super Bowl performance reinforced that there is no such thing as too much pass rush depth. https://t.co/0visHgHMQI- Dane Brugler (@dpbrugler) February 13, 2026 2026 NFL Draft Top Prospect Lists Are Loaded With Bears Fits"
The 2026 NFL Draft is 69 days away and free agency is 24 days away. A deep EDGE class features 16 prospects in top-100 lists, reinforcing the premium on pass-rush depth. The Seahawks' Super Bowl performance emphasized that teams benefit from abundant pass-rush options. The Chicago Bears have multiple paths to improve the defensive line, including trades, free-agent signings, and draft selections. The Bears previously used trades for Joe Thuney and Jonah Jackson, signed Drew Dalman, and drafted Ozzy Trapilo and Luke Newman to upgrade the offensive trenches. The draft appears to be the most promising venue for major defensive-line upgrades.
