Summary

The 2026 NFL Draft is in the books and for the 5th year in a row with Ryan Poles as GM, the Chicago Bears did not select an Edge Rusher in the first three rounds of the draft. Will this risk come back to haunt them or is there other avenues the Bears can navigate to try to piece together a better defensive line than what we saw in 2025? Join Greg Braggs Jr, Phil Ottochian and Shayne Marsaw as we discuss all that and more on CHGO Bears After Dark! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
