    The 2026 Draft is EVERYTHING- Chicago Bears Draft Breakdown with D-Nice| Bleav in Bears Ep.2

    The 2026 NFL Draft is April 23rd in Pittsburgh — and the Chicago Bears are sitting on one of the most powerful draft positions in the entire league with four picks inside the top 89 selections. In Episode 2 of Bleav in Bears, host Brandon Tracks Hiatt sits down with co-host and lifelong Bears fan D-Nice to break down every pick, every position of need, and every name Bears fans need to know before Draft Night. Brandon and D-Nice go pick by pick through every realistic option at No. 25 overall — edge rusher Cashius Howell, Toledo safety Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, Florida defensive tackle Caleb Banks, Georgia offensive tackle Monroe Freeling, and Indiana wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. They debate which pick makes the most sense, which one is a hard no, and whether Ryan Poles should stay at 25 or trade back for extra capital. The guys also break down the full draft picture beyond round one — what the Bears need in rounds two through seven, why center and cornerback are sneaky needs nobody is talking about, and why this draft class is deep enough to address multiple defensive holes in a single weekend. Plus — bold predictions. Brandon and D-Nice each plant a flag before signing off. One predicts a blockbuster trade back on draft night. The other predicts the Bears come out of this draft with a pass rusher who becomes a Pro Bowl player within three years. And both agree — Caleb Williams is about to have a year that makes people forget they ever doubted him. Topics covered in this episode: ∙ Chicago Bears pick No. 25 — all realistic options ranked and debated ∙ Cashius Howell, Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, Monroe Freeling, Caleb Banks breakdown ∙ Should Ryan Poles trade back from No. 25 and collect extra picks ∙ Four picks in the top 89 — how to maximize elite draft capital ∙ Round 2 through 7 needs — edge, corner, center, safety depth ∙ Top 30 visits — De’Zhaun Stribling and Jimmy Rolder ∙ Why the Bears defense must improve from 23rd in points allowed ∙ Bold draft night predictions from Brandon and D-Nice ∙ Caleb Williams Year 2 expectations under Ben Johnson Subscribe to Bleav in Bears on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
