Bears visited with elite Buckeyes defender who would help with Grady Jarrett issue

The Chicago Bears will be open to considering many positions in the 2026 NFL Draft as they try to improve their roster following last season's memorable playoff run.

Most of the work will be done with the defense, as they need help on the defensive line and in the secondary, as well as depth at linebacker. Edge rusher and defensive tackle might end up taking most of the attention for the Bears.

NFL Draft On SI's Justin Melo interviewed Ohio State defensive tackle Kayden McDonald, who mentioned that he has met with multiple teams, including the Bears.
