The Chicago Bears currently hold the 25th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, and many mock drafters have them taking a defensive lineman. But would that be the best value? This defensive line class is deep, but where’s the sweet spot for defensive ends and tackles?
Join Ari Temkin and Jacob Infante on their latest Chicago Draft Room as they break down the top defensive line prospects in the 2026 NFL Draft. They go over the can’t-miss guys, the boom-or-bust gambles, and the mid-round steals that the Bears
could be targeting.
Who’s a true difference-maker and who’s just a combine freak?
They’re giving you the unfiltered breakdown right here!
Ari and Jacob will be live at 3:00 p.m. (CT), so head over to the 2nd City YouTube channel to get in on the fun and drop them some questions about this draft class in the chat.
Once the podcast version is published, we’ll share it right here.
