The Chicago Bears selected Minnesota defensive back Terell Smith in the fifth round of the NFL draft on Saturday.

The Bears have two picks left in the seventh round. On Friday, the Bears selected Florida defensive tackle Gervon Dexter Sr. and Miami cornerback Tyrique Stevenson in the second round. They also picked South Carolina defensive tackle Zacch Pickens in the third round.

The Bears clearly had no intention of drafting Georgia defensive tackle Jalen Carter and allowed the Eagles to switch spots with them. Chicago also got a fourth-round pick in 2024. The Bears finished with the worst record in the league and set a franchise mark for losses while going 3-14 in their first season under general manager Ryan Poles and coach Matt Eberflus. But their frustrated fans are feeling at least a little more optimistic after some big offseason moves.

Poles pulled off a blockbuster trade for a play-making receiver in March when he acquired DJ Moore from the quarterback-needing Carolina Panthers. The Bears moved down eight spots and also got a haul of selections in return; Carolina took Alabama's Bryce Young at No. 1.
