My way to early 2026 mock draft

[ASHKUM BEAR]

My way to early 2026 mock draft.  More about looking at the roster and composing needs.  Ben gets his RB, then DA takes over. Later rd picks G, S#2, K. 

1-24 Jeremiah Love RB ND 6-0 205

2-48 Braylon Shelby DE S Car 6-5 265

3-86 Dillon Thieneman S Pur 6-0 207

4-118 Demonte Capehart DT Clem 6-5 315

2026 scouting season starts tomorrow. 

Though the Bears scouts officially started 2 weeks ago attending camps.

Any thoughts on what this team might need after preseason ended? 

Poles attending next weekend...Texas vs Ohio St, LSU vs Clemson and Notre Dame vs Miami.  I have a ND and Clem players in my first few selections 

Team needs after last game: LT, RB, DT, DE, S, CB
