Day 3 Breakdown
On Day 3, the Bears selected three players, starting in Round 5:
Round 5, Pick 148: Austin Booker, EDGE, Kansas
Booker brings length, bend, and upside to Chicago’s pass rush unit. Though raw, he showed flashes of dominance in the Big 12 and fits well as a developmental rusher behind Montez Sweat. Bears traded up in 2024 to acquire this pick, emphasizing their belief in his ceiling.
Round 7, Pick 233: Tory Taylor, P, Iowa
While punters rarely make headlines, Taylor was widely considered the best punter in college football. He brings elite hang time and placement ability, something that could impact field position battles in close games. Special teams coordinator Richard Hightower will have a new weapon.
Round 7, Pick 246: Amegadjie Kiran, OL, Yale
Amegadjie, a small-school standout with NFL traits, adds developmental depth to the offensive line. At 6’5″, 325 pounds with long arms, he offers a moldable frame and versatility at guard or tackle. If coached up, he could become a valuable reserve.
