1 defensive tackle for Chicago Bears in every round of 2026 NFL Draft

The 2026 NFL Draft is just around the corner, and the Chicago Bears should be looking to add at the defensive tackle position, a very weak spot on the defensive side of their roster. With two veterans leading the way, the Bears should be looking at the position sooner than later in this week's draft. Currently, the team's top two players at the position are Gervon Dexter Sr.

and Grady Jarrett, but they also have last year's second-round pick Shemar Turner in the fold alongside free-agent addition Neville Gallimore. While Chicago added depth this offseason, they need to find a disruptive interior defender to shore up the line. While the Bears have other pressing needs on their roster, defensive tackle needs to be one position where they address identifying the best fit and talent to make an immediate impact.

With four picks in the Top 89 selections of the draft, Chicago has an opportunity to bring in the highest talent with a best player available strategy. We're examining a defensive tackle in every round for the Bears to consider, a player that can help improve their run defense while also collapsing opposing quarterback pockets, looking to improve their pass rush also. Here's one for every round: Round 1: Kayden McDonald, Ohio State The top player at the defensive tackle spot in this year's class, Kayden McDonald is most certainly in play for the Bears and their first round pick at No.

25. The Ohio State product has great run-stopping ability which will help the defense establish a much better run defense, and would be very fun to watch in short-yardage, goal-line situations. Round 2: Christen Miller, Georgia Another SEC product, Christen Miller could be a target for the team given that they have two second round picks.
