Dane Brugler 2026 NFL Mock Draft fills massive need for Bears in first round

The Chicago Bears are a few days away from their Week 14 showdown against the Green Bay Packers, and we’ll see firsthand during that game which need is most significant on the roster right now.

The Bears’ defense will be tasked with stopping Packers QB Jordan Love at Lambeau Field, a matchup that will ultimately determine the outcome of the game. And while Dennis Allen’s secondary has the talent needed to hold up in coverage, Chicago must prove that its front seven can pin their ears back and make Love’s life miserable.

We know Montez Sweat can do it. He’s up to 7.5 sacks. He’s totaled 6.5 sacks over the last seven games. And while Austin Booker has been solid since returning from injured reserve, he hasn’t recorded a sack in the last four games.

That’s where Dane Brugler’s latest Chicago Bears mock draft comes in. Brugler has the Bears selecting Clemson edge rusher T.J. Parker in the first round (31st overall).
