Daniel Jeremiah talks prospects who would fit the Bears in NFL Draft

In this episode of the Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show, host Daniel Jeremiah, NFL Network analyst and host of Move the Sticks, joins to break down the 2026 NFL Draft with a focus on the Chicago Bears' 25th overall pick. Jeremiah evaluates the draft class as strong in depth but lacking in true 'stars,' emphasizing 'starters, not stars' as the theme. He highlights the Bears' defensive needs, particularly at edge rusher, cornerback, and safety, and suggests they could target versatile players like Toledo’s Emmanuel McNeil-Warren or Clemson’s Peter Woods to complement their high-powered offense. Jeremiah also discusses the strategic value of trading back to accumulate more second- and third-round picks, especially given the Bears’ two second-round selections. He praises under-the-radar talent from smaller schools like Caleb Proctor and Ted Hurst, and weighs in on quarterback development trends, applauding the Raiders’ plan to redshirt Fernando Mendoza behind Kirk Cousins. The conversation underscores a preference for defensive upgrades that align with the Bears’ offensive strength and long-term rebuild strategy.
