NFL Draft - Day 2 (Rounds 2-3)

[Les Grossman]

Damn it seems pretty obvious to everyone who the Bears likely targets are LMAO

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.

Stevenson was too inconsistent last year. Great impact player though.

I wouldnt hate the pick, but think media is showing their lack of research by overwhelmingly projecting Ezeiruaku to Bears when it would be a pretty big departure from what DA has previously used in his scheme.

Only 2 offensive lineman on that list.

Only 2 offensive lineman on that list.

Yeah it was pretty well established that the only good OL were at the top of the draft.

My main point there was that Ersery likely goes quick. I'm thinking Houston will snatch him up with the #34 pick.

 

[dabears70]

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.

Where do you think Charles Grant will go? I was thinking he might slide up into the 2nd round.

Yeah it seems long a long way to pick 39, I agree.

Man, Will Johnson medical must be reallllllly bad huh?

 

[HearshotKDS]

Where do you think Charles Grant will go? I was thinking he might slide up into the 2nd round.

I think mid 3rd, hes not an immediate solution for a team that needs an OT soon so I dont see teams reaching on him in the late 2nd but who knows.

 

[dabears70]

#39 - A.Ersery

#41 - JTT

#72 - RJ Harvey


#39 - T.Henderson

#41 - JTT

#72 - Charles Grant

 

[msadows]

Man, Will Johnson medical must be reallllllly bad huh?

Knee issues is what i hear.

Teams are scared off that he will never be healthy.

I'd still anticipate at this point he goes pretty quick in the 2nd round

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

Draft Network​

39. TreVeyon Henderson, RB, Ohio State

41. Donovan Ezeiruaku, EDGE, Boston College

Ohio State Buckeyes running back TreVeyon Henderson (32) scores a touchdown on a 75-yard touchdown catch and run against Texas Longhorns in the second quarter of the Cotton Bowl Classic during the College Football Playoff semifinal game at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas on January, 10, 2025.

Athlon Sports​

39. Donovan Ezeiruaku, EDGE, Boston College

41. Aireontae Ersery, OT, Minnesota

72. Kevin Winston Jr., S, Penn State

Bleacher Report​

39. Nick Emmanwori, S, South Carolina

41. Nic Scourton, EDGE, Texas A&M

72. Darien Porter, CB, Iowa State

Draft Wire​

39. Will Johnson, CB, Michigan

41. Quinshon Judkins, RB, Ohio State

72. Josaiah Stewart, EDGE, Michigan

Henderson, Ezeiruaku, and Ersery won't be available at 39

 

[BaBaBlacksheep]

So my thoughts about tonight are:

1: remove all healthy players. Bears like the pre-injured guys.

2: remove all players over 250 pounds.

3: needs to have some personality quirk to catch Poles attention. Think pool jumping, old car, cow branding/fence wrangling, etc
