NFL Draft - Day 2 (Rounds 2-3)

[bears26]

Ton of talent available in the 2nd rd. Bears should be able to add some good players. Going to be interesting to see what Poles does if Luther Burder is still on the board. Would he dare draft another receiver?

Nick E is going to come off the board real fast. Lots of value there.

No way the bears draft a WR in the 2nd. They’re going edge for sure…then maybe a RB or Watts

 

[Moses Moreno]

Can never get enough wide receivers!

Would be awful considering they grabbed Loveland

 

[1COBearsfan]

I had better see some TRANCHES! Preferably on the defensive side of the ball, but whatever

 

[Les Grossman]

I was very against Safety in the 1st round but if Nick E falls I’d be cool with that pick

 

[bears26]

RB Henderson with that break away speed and great pass blocking skills would be a great addition.

i dunno man....this thread just doesnt have that IT factor. so not cool

Maybe Clev and the Raiders grab S.Sanders and T.Shough before we get to #39.

I'd be pretty damn happy with him or X.Watts.

 

[SugabearMVP]

I could definitely see them going either CB or S in one of their Round 2 picks.
With the way Stevenson played last year I'm not sure how Ben and Dennis will look at that position but I would not be surprised to see either in Round 2.

You put up a hell of a challenge last night. Take your 2nd place ribbon and be happy.

i dunno man, you just seem salty you werent in it

its not QTY, its QUALITY anyways

if you were COOL, you would know this

I don't know why the NFL bothers starting Day 2 at 7pm...

I really don't need anyone to hold my hand about my team's Day 2 picks. And I don't really care about all the other teams' Day 2 picks... not my idea of Friday Nite entertainment. Just me?

 

[HearshotKDS]

Think someone snaps up Ersery quickly, he's the last OT projected to actually play OT in the NFL before you get into the late 3rd round or day 3 guys in distinctly lower tier.

 

[Enasic]

I was very against Safety in the 1st round but if Nick E falls I’d be cool with that pick

I like watts more but I’d be fine with Nick E. Think the bears could trade down a bit and still get one of them.

 

[bearsfan1977]

Maybe Clev and the Raiders grab S.Sanders and T.Shough before we get to #39.

Don’t know if this is true, as I didn’t read the article-just the headline. It was about Deion bashing CLE for not taking his son and bashing Joe Flacco, as well.

If that’s true, no wonder no team wanted any part of his son and the entitled attitude he would bring into the locker room.

It was one thing for Deion bringing that attitude when he was drafted-he was an elite talent. Shadeur is a career backup.

I hope he slides out of the 2nd round. Won’t happen though.

Various Bears Day 2-3 predictions...

USA Today​

39. Nic Scourton, EDGE, Texas A&M: "The Bears went offense in Round 1 and opt to address the defensive line in Round 2. Scourton is an edge in a similar mold to Trey Hendrickson, who played well under new Bears defensive coordinator Dennis Allen in New Orleans."

41. Aireontae Ersery, OL, Minnesota: "Chicago takes a forward-thinking approach at No. 41 here. Ersery could work in at tackle or guard as a rookie and be a potential starter at either position in 2026 with guard Joe Thuney and tackle Braxton Jones hitting free agency."

72. Kaleb Johnson, RB, Iowa

The Athletic​

39. Aireontae Ersery, OT, Minnesota: "In Round 1, the Bears landed Colston Loveland, a perfect fit for Ben Johnson’s offense. On Friday, Chicago has a chance to get tougher up front. The hulking 6-6, 331-pound Ersery could be a long-term answer on the left side."

41. Donovan Ezeiruaku, EDGE, Boston College: "This would be outstanding value for the Bears, who still need plenty of punch along their defensive front. Ezeiruaku has one of the deepest pass-rush move sets in this draft and is a very high-character player."

72. Trevor Etienne, RB, Georgia

ESPN​

39. TreVeyon Henderson, RB, Ohio State: "After adding tight end Colston Loveland in Round 1, the Bears could give new coach Ben Johnson the speedy, pass-catching back he made popular while he was the coordinator for the Lions. Henderson is electric and the best receiving back in this draft."

41. Donovan Ezeiruaku, DE, Boston College: "Signing Dayo Odeyingbo in free agency gives Chicago versatility with its defensive front and personnel groupings. Adding the speedy Ezeiruaku, who can win with his 34-inch arms and dangerous first-step quickness, will give the Bears a solid pass-rush package for new coordinator Dennis Allen."

CBS Sports​

39. TreVeyon Henderson, RB, Ohio State: "Ben Johnson gets his explosive back to deploy in the screen game often. More help for Caleb Williams."

41. Donovan Ezeiruaku, EDGE, Boston College: "The Bears get a high-floor outside pass rusher to pair with Montez Sweat."

72. Charles Grant, OT, William & Mary

Pro Football Focus​

39. TreVeyon Henderson, RB, Ohio: "Henderson, when playing confidently, shines with his agility and long speed. He lacks some size for tackle-breaking and pass-blocking, but he remains a high-effort player in those areas. He seems like a good speed component of an NFL committee, including for receiving work out of the backfield."

41. Donovan Ezeiruaku, EDGE, Boston College: "Ezeiruaku is a smaller outside linebacker-type edge rusher who can struggle with the power aspects of the game. However, his quick, smooth style paired with high football IQ and some very nice bend make him an ideal 3-4 pass rush type of defender to draft on Day 2."

72. Andrew Mukuba, S, Texas: "Mukuba's lack of a run-defense skill set may turn off some teams, but his instincts and athleticism in coverage make him a top prospect. His game is reminiscent of Devin McCourty, who excelled as a true free safety later in his career with the Patriots but had the savvy to make plays from a variety of alignments because of his football intelligence."

Sports Illustrated​

39. Mike Green, EDGE, Marshall: "Another surprising faller from the first day, Green has too much pass-rush production and athleticism to slide much further. The Bears snag a nice value pick here."

41. Quinshon Judkins, RB, Ohio State: "After adding flash in first-round tight end Colston Loveland, the Bears add a powerful, bruising ballcarrier."

72. Harold Fannin Jr., TE, Bowling Green State
