Bears strike with trio of top-100 picks in 2026 NFL Draft

Chicago’s 2026 draft yielded three ESPN top-100 selections: safety Dillon Thieneman at No. 25 overall (No. 11 on Matt Miller’s list), corner Malik Muhammad (No. 124; No. 46) and linebacker Keyshaun Elliott (No. 166; No. 81), giving the Bears a strengthened secondary and faster linebacker group. Day 2 picks Logan Jones, Sam Roush and Zavion Thomas drew mixed reactions and left questions about the lack of early defensive-line selections, though the class could still produce immediate contributors and depth under GM Ryan Poles.

Bears trade up to draft Malik Muhammad at No. 124

Chicago traded up five spots in the fourth round to select Texas cornerback Malik Muhammad with the 124th overall pick. The 6-foot-0, 182-pound defender appeared in 41 games with 29 starts for Texas, recording 97 tackles, three interceptions, 16 pass breakups and 1.0 sack, plus a 4.42-second 40 at the NFL Combine. Bears scouts praised his ability to play man and zone with instincts, and Muhammad said he can play outside, inside, nickel and multiple coverages. He joins a defense that led the NFL in takeaways in 2025 and will work with defensive backs coach Al Harris, drawing inspiration from Peanut Tillman and Jaylon Johnson.

Steelers Bring in Trio of Mid‑Round Prospects for Pre-Draft Visits

The Steelers hosted three pre-draft visitors—Texas CB Malik Muhammad, LSU LB Harold Perkins and Memphis OT Travis Burke—bringing their total pre-draft visitors to 24 (27 with locals). All three are seen as mid‑round prospects: Burke is a massive 6'8", 325-pound tackle with a mauler profile, Perkins is an ultra‑athletic off‑ball linebacker, and Muhammad projects as a Day 2 corner with strong ball skills. Pittsburgh has also shown interest in other corners and is expected to wrap up visits next week ahead of the draft.
