Bears' latest mock draft showcases stunning trade that pays off for defense

Safety is arguably the biggest need for the Chicago Bears with a little over a month to go until the 2026 NFL Draft.

While the addition of former Seattle Seahawks safety Coby Bryant was a great move, the team lost Kevin Byard and Jaquan Brisker, leaving Chicago with more work to do at the position, with the draft the most likely place to address it. NFL.com draft analyst Chad Reuter actually has the Bears trading down with the Miami Dolphins as Chicago uses the 30th pick to select Oregon safety Dillon Thieneman.
