The Chicago Bears essentially acquired a bonus second-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft and used it to select Texas A&M defensive tackle Shemar Turner at No. 62 overall Friday night.

Earlier in the day, the Bears traded three picks (Nos. 41, 72 and 240) to the Buffalo Bills and acquired two second-round selections (Nos. 56 and 62) and a fourth-rounder (No. 109) in return.

The first pick was spent on Boston College offensive tackle Ozzy Trapilo, and six spots later, Turner was a Bear.

Here’s all you need to know about Turner, Chicago’s fourth pick of this year’s draft:

Shemar Turner

Position: Defensive tackle

Height: 6-foot-3

Weight: 290 pounds

School: Texas A&M

College stats: 115 total tackles (24 for loss), 10 sacks and three forced fumbles in 43 games over four seasons

Honors: Second-team All-SEC (2023)

NFL draft expert Lance Zierlein’s analysis: “Three-year starter with ‘tweener’ measurables but excellent musculation and lean mass. Turner plays with unlimited activity and a heavy dose of violence. He has a quick first step and an explosive punch. He’s capable of holding the point against single blocks or working the gaps with foot quickness. His pressure rate is hurt by a lack of length but he’s a restless rusher who hunts blockers’ edges and will eventually leak through if the play extends. His athleticism and chase quickness will see him in or near the pile with some frequency as a future starter.”

Bair’s breakdown

Turner is a violent player with experience all over the defensive line — he has played inside out, in the base and in sub packages. He’s a versatile chess piece who gives maximum effort on every play.

I could see Turner as a roving reserve playing several different spots next season, bringing maximum effort to his opportunities to spell established players. To get a player like this with essentially an extra second-round pick — this was part of the Bears’ trade down with the Bills — is a real win. Assuming, of course, he can play under control. That has been an issue before, but established veterans such as Grady Jarrett can help show him the ropes.

Turner is an excitable sort, but he’s passionate about the game, and could bring an energy and life to the defensive line’s second wave.
