Bears Trade Up to No. 213 to Draft DT Jordan van den Berg

Overview

• The Bears sent picks No. 239 and 241 to the Bills on Saturday to move to No. 213, then drafted Georgia Tech defensive tackle Jordan van den Berg.
• Analysts judged the cost a value gain versus standard draft charts, noting two late sevenths usually do not net a late sixth that high.
• Van den Berg is a 24-year-old sixth-year senior who went from Iowa Western to Penn State to Georgia Tech and logged 44 tackles and 11 tackles for loss last season.
• Early snaps could be hard to find behind starters Grady Jarrett and Gervon Dexter, with veteran Neville Gallimore also in the interior rotation.
• Unless Chicago acquires more picks, trading both sevenths for No. 213 likely ends the team’s 2026 draft activity.
