Bears Target McNeil-Warren in Mock Draft

0:00On March 26, the Chicago Bears are gearing up for the 2026 NFL draft with big gaps to fill on defense. They hold four picks in the top 89 selections, boosted by an extra second rounder from trading wide receiver DJ Moore this off season. Their first round spot at 25 overall could target defensive tackle, defensive end, or safety depending on who's available. The team still needs a starter, opposite new free agent Kobe Bryant after losing key players in the secondary. A recent mock draft from NFL.com analyst Bucky Brooks sends the Bears a Toledo safety, a manual McNeil Warren right there in the first round. He'd step in immediately to pair with Bryant and shore up the back end. Last season, McNeil Warren racked up 77 tackles, 5.5 for loss, two picks, and forced three fumbles over 13 games. His size, ball skills, and run-stopping fit perfectly in defensive coordinator Dennis Allen's scheme.
