Kiper Mock Signals Bears Build the Trenches in Draft

Mel Kiper’s latest ESPN mock has the Chicago Bears at 25th and prioritizes interior defensive-line help, with Ohio State DT Kayden McDonald as a leading fit to bolster the run defense. The piece argues DT is the bigger immediate need (over edge), cites other potential first‑round DTs like Peter Woods and Caleb Banks as options, and notes that Chicago’s draft approach should continue to build through the trenches after last year’s Loveland and Burden selections.

Cunningham Exit Triggers Comp Picks Debate, Bears Eye Internal Replacements

Ian Cunningham’s departure from the Chicago Bears to join the Atlanta Falcons as GM prompts a debate over why Chicago isn’t receiving compensatory draft picks, with the piece arguing the Bears should get picks or that the rule should be changed.
