Tonight, NFL teams will draft collegiate players with hopes of improving their respective franchises for the long term. Unfortunately, the Bears will not be picking in the first round unless general manager Ryan Pace trades up, which would be costly.
The Bears would've had the 19th overall pick, which now belongs to the Las Vegas Raiders as part of the Khalil Mack trade in 2018. That trade also moved the 43rd pick from the Raiders to the Bears, and that is currently the Bears' highest pick in the draft.
Fortunately, the second round has landed the Bears a lot of incredible talent over the years.

Last year, the Bears didn't pick until the third round, when they selected Iowa State running back David Montgomery. This year's third-round pick, No. 81, also went to the Raiders in the Mack trade.
The Bears don't have a pick in the fourth round because of a move in last year's draft where the Bears traded a third- and fifth-round selection (in addition to this fourth round pick) for New England's third- and sixth-round picks last year.
The Bears also had a compensatory fourth-round pick at No. 140 but traded it to Jacksonville for quarterback Nick Foles.

In the seventh round, the Bears have two picks thanks to the Mack trade. The Bears will get pick No. 2026 from the Raiders.
If you think the Bears' seven picks is a small amount, (the Miami Dolphins lead the way with 14 picks) rest assured that the New Orleans Saints and Kansas City Chiefs each have five total.
The Mack trade was still worth it, though.
