the first two draft picks Bears HC Ben Johnson made after securing the job were offensive pass-catchers: TE Colston Loveland and WR Luther Burden...Even with Loveland and Burden set for second-year breakouts, it seems likely Odunze won't be left too far behind.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Burden is a priority HC pick positioned for second-year WR breakout with vacated targets.

Burden is one of the first two offensive pass-catcher draft picks made by Bears HC Ben Johnson after securing the job, indicating his central role in the Bears' offensive plans. The source expects him to experience a second-year breakout alongside TE Colston Loveland, with significant vacated target share available (Bears ranked 2nd in vacated WR targets and 5th in targets inside the 10 following DJ Moore's departure). Mike Clay's 2026 projections rank Burden four spots behind Odunze, separated by just a few points.
