One pick down, six more to go.

The Chicago Bears hope to have a great 2025-26 NFL season, beginning with their No. 10 pick snagged in round 1 of the draft: Michigan star tight end Colston Loveland.

Who is Colston Loveland?

The 6-foot-6 Loveland, a native of Gooding, Idaho, will be paired up with Cole Kmet in the new-look Bears offense under new head coach and former Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, giving quarterback Caleb Williams yet another talented weapon to throw to in the passing game.

Loveland hauled in 56 catches for 582 yards  and five touchdowns in his final season with the Wolverines, with 11 career touchdowns to his credit in Ann Arbor. In January, he had surgery to reconstruct the AC joint in his right shoulder, to fix an injury he suffered in September. He is expected to be ready by training camp.

While Loveland has potential, arguably the best tight end in this class was Penn State’s Tyler Warren. Warren went four picks later to the Indianapolis Colts.

As the draft continues, the Bears have six more picks to go.

What draft picks do the Bears have left?

As things stand, the Bears currently hold the No. 39 and the No. 41 picks in the second round, which gets underway Friday night.

They also have one third-rounder (No. 72) on Friday, plus one pick in the fifth (No. 148) and two in the seventh round (No. 233, No. 240) on Saturday.

What time is the NFL Draft Friday, and what channel is it on?
