Intel: Chicago Bears Have Two Names They’re Willing To Trade Up For In 1st Round

Right now, the Chicago Bears hold the #25 pick in the 1st round of the upcoming 2026 NFL draft. It is expected that they will stay there. After all, Bears general manager Ryan Poles has never traded up in the 1st round since taking over. He’s traded down twice. Both occurred in 2023, first moving down from #1 overall to #9, and then from #9 to #10. The Bears have remained fixed in place over the past two drafts, taking Caleb Williams and Rome Odunze with their original picks, and then Colston Loveland last year.
