The Chicago Bears might be one of the most unpredictable teams going into the 2025 draft. Every other team selecting in the top 10 has at least some sense of direction. Tennessee is going quarterback at #1. Cleveland and New York likely grab Travis Hunter and Abdul Carter. New England will go offensive line if they’re off the board. Jacksonville will go defensive line, and Las Vegas is a favored spot for Ashton Jeanty. New York will go offense, while Carolina and New Orleans are expected to go defense.
Chicago? Nobody knows. Projections have been all over the place. Some predict a running back. Others see a tight end. Still, others see them going for a pass rusher. Mike Sando of The Athletic reached out to executives around the NFL to get a sense of how the offseasons of other teams have gone. One of them expressed admiration for what GM Ryan Poles has accomplished so far. It was then he let slip what he and perhaps others around the league expect the Bears to do next.
“I like what Chicago has done,” one exec said. “They have gotten better. I do not know how much we will see it in their record. If they win eight games, is that progress?”
The Bears’ Vegas win total stands at 8.5 after the team finished 5-12 last season.
“I applaud them for doing it the way they are doing it,” another exec said. “You get two proven commodities at guard, and the head coach (Ben Johnson) knows Jonah Jackson from Detroit. It’s an overpay for the center, but they have a chance to address left tackle in the draft and come away with a pretty formidable group.”
This leans into the recent Chicago Bears rumors.
Multiple local insiders, such as Courtney Cronin (ESPN), Brad Biggs (Chicago Tribune), and Adam Hoge (CHGO), have hinted that the team is considering the left tackles. It makes sense. Braxton Jones is entering the last year of his rookie deal and recovering from a broken ankle. Kiran Amegadjie is completely unproven against high-level competition. This might be the best opportunity the Chicago Bears have to land a legitimate front-line starter at one of the most important positions in the sport. It likely comes down to who is available when they pick. New England (#4) and New York (#7) are both potential landing spots for tackles. If it unfolds that way, the Bears may have to alter their plans.
@Slip Knots, I agree. Both of the posters, who are obviously feuding for whatever reasons, offer good insight when they just post football based opinions. I’m fairly new here so I don’t know the history of this but it gets too ugly at times. Set up a meet time at a gym and box it out for a few minutes. This place doesn’t have to be this toxic.
Vegas total is 8.5
Feel free to bet the under or over if you want.
The article is correct about one thing: no one outside Halas knows what the Bears will do once they’re on the clock at #10. Hopefully, they don’t fall for the hype over any one player nor reach for a prospect they could trade back and still get. We’ll find out in a few weeks.
C’mon you putzes. Stop talking about coat-hanger abortions.
You have gotten so far away from football that you’re swimming in polluted canals.
Please wash yourselves.
RoosterRider, your jackal mother did try an abortion, but it only partially worked with that damaged and dull clothing hanger. She gave up after the dog pulled it out of her hand. That explains your lack of intelligence and mindfulness.
But don’t blame the dog. If she had not been eating that huge polish sausage at the same time while sitting on that old wooden toilet, she could have used both hands to steady the hanger while fighting off the dog. So you were somewhat lucky to survive.
