ESPN’s Courtney Cronin on the Bears latest draft rumors:
“It's been even longer since Chicago drafted a pass rusher in Round 1 (Leonard Floyd, 2016) or a pure defensive end (Shea McClellin, 2012). Both are major needs for Dennis Allen's defense after the Bears focused on defensive tackle during free agency. Depending on how many edge rushers are off the board by the time Chicago picks at No. 25, selecting a D-end is logical.”

Denzel Ward’s 2025 PFF grades:
- Overall: 59.2
- Coverage: 59.7
- Run Defense: 55.7
