With the 2018 NFL Draft a week and a half away, here is a look at the most current big board for the Chicago Bears on draft day.

Ryan Pace and Matt Nagy have one heck of a weekend coming up. The 2018 NFL Draft will be the first chance Nagy gets to make his mark on the roster alongside his general manager. Going into the offseason, Pace wanted to have his head coach stabilized early on for a time such as this.

Nagy is in place, along with a solid support group of position coaches and coordinators. It is time to get down to business.

Everyone has their opinion on who the Bears should draft on the 26th. When it comes to first-round talent, there is a lot of it. There are also many scenarios that could fall into place prior to the Bears’ selection at no. 8.

While it is difficult to try and predict the overall big board for Pace and his room of advisors, I give it a shot by putting together a top-15, starting with second-round options. Because the Bears may be a team to pull off a draft-day trade, I also give you a few late first-round options in case they find themselves in that spot with an extra pick.

Finally, the premier names who will be targets at no. 8 will fill out my list. With each player, I will try and give you some sort of tape to study along with a profile. Let’s get it going: The top 15 players on the Bears’ big board in ascending order.
