With the NFL announcing which teams (hint: not the Bears) are getting compensatory picks in the 2026 NFL Draft, its order is set.
These are the picks the Bears currently own in the upcoming draft:
Round 1, Pick 25 Round 2, Pick 57 Round 2, Pick 60 (via Buffalo Bills) Round 3, Pick 89 Round 4, Pick 129 (via Los Angeles Rams) Round 7, Pick 239 (via Philadelphia Eagles through the Jaguars and Browns) Round 7, Pick 2412026 NFL Draft: Picks Currently Owned by the Chicago Bears
To answer some questions you might have about why the Bears have these picks (and check out the full 2026 NFL Draft order here):
The second-round pick from the Bills is part of the DJ Moore trade. That fourth-round pick from the Rams was part of a trade made during the 2025 NFL Draft in which Chicago traded back from having pick No. 148 (5th round) and received a sixth-round pick (No. 195) in 2025 and a fourth-rounder (which turns out to be No. 129) in 2026. The Bears do not own their own fourth-round pick because they sent it to the Kansas City Chiefs for All-Pro left guard Joe Thuney. Getting the inaugural recipient of the NFL’s Protector of the Year award for a fourth-round pick feels like a steal. Chicago’s original fifth-round went to Buffalo along with wide receiver DJ Moore. Bears General Manager Ryan Poles sent the team’s original sixth-round pick to the Cleveland Browns for edge defender Joe Tryon-Shoyinka. After the trade, JTS collected 13 tackles (5 solo), 1 tackle-for-loss, and 1 quarterback hit in the eight regular-season games he played in Chicago.

We are only two days into the early negotiation period of free agency. The new league year does not open its doors until 3 p.m. CT on Wednesday. Plus, the team still needs to do pro day trips, host top-30 visits, and get to know prospects on a deeper level before making their picks on the weekend of April 23.

With that being said, I do have some ideas on how the team could use their picks. Even after adding a new defensive tackle, the defensive line remains a priority need for this team. If safety Kevin Byard III doesn’t return, then finding another starting safety is on the team’s to-do list. Tyrique Stevenson and Terell Smith could be vying for a starting cornerback job in training camp this summer. But if this front office or coaching staff doesn’t have confidence in either of those players, then perhaps a cornerback could be in play. After watching last year’s defense, you can understand why players on that side of the ball are top of mind.
BEARS SIGNINGS: Bush | Bryant | Gallimore | Raymond
And yet, after watching the Bears pluck tight end Colston Loveland and wide receiver Luther Burden III with their first two selections in the 2025 NFL Draft, there is a part of me that strongly believes it would be a wise investment to snag another quality receiver to throw into Head Coach Ben Johnson’s offense.
Don’t get me wrong. Signing Kalif Raymond makes for a nice addition. However, I would like to see Chicago add a receiver who has the type of upside to be a legit WR3 and pushes quality players like Raymond (and upstart Jahdae Walker) down the depth chart. We can dig into specifics later. In the meantime, knowing which picks Chicago has in the upcoming NFL Draft is good to know.
