Biggest questions for Chicago Bears offense before 2026 NFL Draft

The Chicago Bears enjoyed plenty of success in the 2025 season, finishing with an 11-6 record, winning the NFC North title, getting to the NFC divisional playoffs, while also beating the Green Bay Packers twice. There was some surprise to the fast success the Chicago had, but most of the credit went to head coach Ben Johnson and how he reintegrated the offense under second-year quarterback Caleb Williams and a rebuilt offensive line. One of the biggest moves the offense made this year was sending veteran wide receiver DJ Moore to the Buffalo Bills in exchange for a second-round pick in this year's draft, adding more draft capital that could be used to help improve the defense.

Chicago also lost veteran center Drew Dalman, who suddenly retired this offseason after just one season with the Bears . But the team moved quickly to make a trade for Garrett Bradbury, a veteran who will assume the starting center position. While the franchise has more to fix on defense more than offense, there are still questions that can be answered in this year's upcoming draft.

Here's our look at the top questions for the Bears offense heading into the draft next week. Will the Bears use pick No. 25 on a left tackle?

The Bears have a long list of needs heading into the NFL draft, and left tackle is certainly one of them. With Ozzy Trapilo expected to miss most of the 2026 season after rupturing his patellar tendon during the wild-card playoffs, Chicago is once again staring down a competition at left tackle. The Bears brought back Braxton Jones and Theo Benedet on one-year deals, while also signing former first-round pick Jedrick Wills Jr.
