With plenty of draft capital in rounds two and three, here are some of the top Day 2 draft targets for the Chicago Bears.
The Chicago Bears caught many fans off guard by selecting Michigan tight end Colston Loveland in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft. For those puzzled by the move, it’s worth noting that new head coach Ben Johnson used 12 personnel (two tight ends) on 32.2% of offensive snaps last season, the third-highest in the NFL. There’s a vision in place to utilize both Cole Kmet and Loveland on the field together, with Loveland expected to thrive in a Bears uniform. If the pick still doesn’t sit right, the silver lining is that Chicago holds two second-round selections and another in the third round on Day 2, giving them multiple chances to add impact talent. With that in mind, here are some of the top Day 2 draft targets the Bears could consider.

Defensive End
Mike Green has first-round talent but slipped due to character concerns. While he may not be the perfect fit for Dennis Allen’s scheme, his ability to make plays on defense is undeniable.
Donovan Ezeiruaku, surprisingly still on the board, stands out for his burst and bend despite being undersized at 6’3″, 248 pounds.
