Everything we do, or have done, in regards to the 2020 Chicago Bears draft can be found in this section right here, including our mocks, previews, prospect lists and more.
The 2020 NFL Draft will get started on Thursday, April 23 and run through Saturday, April 25.
We’ll have write-ups as soon as each Chicago pick is made, we’ll have our grades up relatively quick after every selection, as well as a video/GIF breakdown of the newest Bears’ skills, plus we’ll record a podcast after each new Bear prospect is announced.
We’ll also have some best-players-available articles after Thursday and Friday to get us Bears’ fans primed for the next day. And then even though the draft ends on Saturday night, the rookie excitement continues as we’ll launch our undrafted free agent news and rumor tracker shortly after the draft ends that we’ll continue to update all weekend long.
