Chicago Bears Mock Draft 3/12/26
Mock drafts are often wrong and mocked for good reason, because it is like throwing darts into the void while wearing a blindfold.
Nevertheless, here is my attempt for my Chicago Bears…
25.
Caleb Banks, DT, Florida – With the premier edges off the board, this is the best defensive player available. If they can fix his pad level and counter moves, his ceiling is high.
***EDIT Breaking News…Caleb Banks suffered a broken foot at the combine that will sideline him until June. Kind of proves my point about mock drafts, especially with this much time left before the draft.
Pivot- Amended pick 25…
Akheem Mesidor, DT/Edge Miami – Probably the most plug-and-play ready pass rusher/run stopper in the draft.
57.
Lee Hunter, DT, Texas Tech – Needed run stopper, a Bears weakness for many years.
60.
Skyler Bell, WR UConn – Underrated wide receiver who should help fill the void with the loss of D.J. Moore.
89.
Gabe Jacas, EDGE Illinois – Potential every-down starter with consistently high motor and pass rush production.
129.
Charlie Demmings, CB Stephen F. Austin – Has potential as a good coverage corner.
239.
Kaleb Proctor, DT, SE Louisiana – A 3-technique pocket-collapser with a nice toolbox of rush moves.
241.
Zxavian Harris, DT, Ole Miss – Likely to start as a rotational run-stuffer and special teamer.
