WCG’s March Madness Mock Draft Bracket challenge has moved into the final round. A few votes made a difference in the last poll, so be sure to register your thoughts! Each finalist begins by addressing a need on the Chicago Bears’ roster and then trying to solve the problems of the defense.
#3 Seed. Zion Young (ED, Missouri) + Jacob Rodriguez (LB, Texas Tech) + Kamari Ramsey (SF, USC) + 2027 R2 New York Giants
The most popular choice from this half of the bracket was for Chicago to take a trade with the New York Giants and move down to #37 in exchange for a 2027 second-round pick. They then took Zion Young before moving on to an off-ball linebacker and a safety. This mock lacks urgency, but it does set Chicago up for the future as well.
#1 Seed. Emmanuel McNeil-Warren (SF, Toledo) + Malachi Lawrence (ED, UCF) + Gracen Halton (DL, Oklahoma)
The most consistent winner across multiple rounds of voting, this option involved no trades and had Chicago targeting a safety early but then investing its two second-round picks in the defensive line.

Fans clearly want the focus to be on defense, but with one more pick on Day Two, both of these mocks leave Chicago room to improve the offense a little before the 2026 season.
