Already, theyve met with several players in advance of on-field drills starting on Thursday. This tracker will help keep fans informed about who theyve met with, perhaps offering an idea of which direction the team might be leaning toward early in the draft this April.
Kayden McDonald (DT, Ohio State)
A big, powerful defensive tackle who is known for eating double teams and plugging gaps across the middle. He has more lower-body explosiveness than he gets credit for. Perhaps some untapped pass rush potential.
Jacob Rodriguez (LB, Texas Tech)
🔥 Subscribe to the Untold Chicago YouTube channel to hear Chicago legends tell stories you’ve never seen in headlines — real moments, real experiences, straight from the athletes themselves.
He will be knocked for being only 61, but Rodriguez is an electric player with the range to play sideline-to-sideline and an uncanny nose for the football. Has high leadership qualities as well.
Theres an old saying in Texas I know its in Tennessee but I think its in Texas, "If you see a College Linebacker who is actually good at Linebacker, cherish him. For he is a dying breed".Time to give Jacob Rodriguez his flowers. 🗣️🔊#nfldraft2026 pic.twitter.com/4WxAVfcCnP— Marcus Whitman (@TFG_Football) February 25, 2026
If Dennis Allen wants a linebacker who can get after the quarterback, Hill is that guy. He had 17 sacks in college, is a great athlete, and plays with a constant attacking mentality.
The Chicago Bears pattern is abundantly clear already
Georgia produces tough, aggressive defensive linemen every year. Miller is no exception. Hes not overly big, but hes violent, explosive, and much stronger than his frame suggests.
Big, burly defensive end with good length and plenty of power. Really improved his polish in 2025, living in the opposing backfield, and carried it over into a dominant Senior Bowl.
Cashius Howell (EDGE, Texas A&M)
Easily one of the most explosive rushers in the class. While hes on the smaller side for edge players, he is so fast, agile, and flexible that blocking him is like trying to catch a greased pig.
Dontay Corleone (DT, Cincinnati)
The Chicago Bears need better run defense from their front line, especially with Andrew Billings out. Corleone is a squat 60 but 335 lbs, powerful from top to bottom, and has the balance to maintain his feet.
Miamis national championship run doesnt happen without him. Mesidor is a violent, relentless, and powerful rusher who had 17.5 sacks last season. He turns 25 years old this year.
A strong defensive end with good length and an understanding of how to use both. His pass rush is solid and he plays the run tough. A bit predictable as a rusher.
