Should the Chicago Bears Trade Up, Trade Down, or Stay Put?

Ruthie kicks things off by celebrating the Michigan Wolverines' national championship, setting the tone before diving into the looming decisions facing the Chicago Bears in the 2026 NFL Draft. With the draft just weeks away, she and Clay break down the different scenarios of whether the Bears should trade up, move down, or stay put and what each path could mean for the roster. Clay zeroes in on potential targets at No. 25 overall and highlights a group of second-round fits with Chicago holding two picks, while also exploring whether a tight end could be in play—including a Wolverine name Ruthie can get behind. The conversation wraps with a look at adding wide receiver depth and how the Bears could continue building out their offense.
