Bears Trade Up for Edge Rusher in NFL Draft

0:00It's April 6th. I'm Corey with The Story, and this is NFL News Today, your AI-powered football briefing. Chicago Bears been stacking their roster this off-season, snagging linebacker Devon Bush and safety Kobe Bryant to shore up key spots. But the big hole still staring them down is Ed rusher, someone to team up with Montess sweat and terrorized quarterbacks. ESPN's Bill Barnwell dropped a bold trade idea for the 2026 NFL draft, where the Bears could swap picks with the vision foes, the Minnesota Vikings. Chicago would ship their 25th overall first rounder and their 60th pick in the second round for Minnesota's 18th overall and a 1. 163rd in the fifth. Bears, GM, Ryan Poles already flipped that Buffalo Bill's second rounder from the DJ Moore deal into ammo for this kind of move, letting them get. Aggressive without gutting the draft board. Names like Akim Mesador, Keldrick Falk, TJ Parker, Zayan Young, or Cassia's Howell, could be on the table at 18, especially if there's a run on.
