List of Chicago Bears first - round Draft picks - wikipedia List of Chicago Bears first - round Draft picks The Chicago Bears are an American football franchise based in Chicago, Illinois. They are members of the National Football Conference ( NFC ) North division in the National Football League ( NFL ). They participated in the first ever NFL draft in 1936 and selected Joe Stydahar, an tackle from West Virginia University. Stydahar went to have a stellar career with the franchise and is inducted in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The team 's most recent first round selection ( 2018 ) was Roquan Smith, an inside linebacker from Georgia. The Bears have not had first round selections a total of six times, most recently in 2010 draft. The Bears have only selected the number one overall pick in the draft twice, choosing Tom Harmon in 1941 and Bob Fenimore in 1947. The team 's six selections from the University of Texas are the most chosen by the Bears from one program. Nine of the first round selections have been inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Every year during April, each NFL franchise seeks to add new players to its roster through a collegiate draft known as `` the NFL Annual Player Selection Meeting '', which is more commonly known as the NFL Draft. The NFL Draft, as a whole, gives the advantage to the teams that did poorly the previous season. The 30 teams that did not make the Super Bowl are ranked in order so the team with the worst record picks first and the team with the best record pick last. The two exceptions to this inverse order are made for teams that appeared in the previous Super Bowl ; the Super Bowl champion selects 32nd overall, and the Super Bowl loser selects 31st overall. If the franchise so chooses, they may trade their draft picks for any combination of draft picks, players, and money.
