Chicago Bears urged to add playmaker after ‘best overall week’ at the Senior Bowl
The NFL Draft starts in Mobile, Alabama, and the Senior Bowl, and the Chicago Bears could be on the cusp of adding one of the pre-draft all-star game showcase’s biggest standouts.
There’s little doubt that general manager Ryan Poles, the front office, and defensive coordinator Dennis Allen could look to expend significant resources on the defensive side of the ball this offseason, perhaps even Chicago’s first-round pick in April’s NFL Draft.
During the lead up to the Senior Bowl, few position groups had a stronger overall performance than the defensive linemen, and it’s entirely possible that Poles and the Bears’ traveling party left with a new player atop their draft board.
Chicago Bears linked to top defensive lineman Lee Hunter
Over at Pro Football Focus, top NFL Draft analyst Trevor Sikkema believes the Bears will prioritize defensive line help, projecting Poles and Chicago select Texas Tech defensive tackle Lee Hunter at No. 25 overall, off a stellar week in Mobile.
“Hunter made a case for the prospect who had the best overall week at the Senior Bowl,” Sikkema writes for PFF. “He was impactful in team drills and one-on-ones as a run stopper and a pass rusher. He was good at UCF in years prior, but he really took his game to the next level at Texas Tech this past season, earning an 84.5 PFF run-defense grade and a 75.0 PFF pass-rush grade against true pass sets. His Senior Bowl momentum brings him into Round 1 conversations.”
The Bears potentially gearing up to snag one of the premier interior pass rushers to bolster a lackluster pass rush from the 2025 campaign, who is also dominant against the run, in a division that features both Josh Jacobs and Aaron Jones, as well as a conference where Saquon Barkley and Christian McCaffrey figure to be Super Bowl roadblocks, makes a lot of sense for Chicago.
If Hunter is available, after posting 2.5 sacks with one forced fumble in 2025, at 6-foot-4 and 325 pounds, he just might become a key centerpiece of a looming Bears defensive rebuild.
