@HeHateMe I believe we finally might have an answer.

When is the 2025 NFL Draft?

Round 1: April 24, 8 p.m. ET
Rounds 2 and 3: April 25, 7 p.m. ET
Rounds 4-7: April 26, noon ET

How can I watch the NFL Draft?

You can watch all three days on ABC, NFL Network, ESPN and ESPN Deportes.

Apparently, you can even watch the draft in Spanish!
Is this confirmed???? Español???. This is HUGE

Leming (IHateCutler) Mock 3.0 with a trade down that makes sense.

“1st (#20) DE Mykel Williams (Georgia)

Chicago Bears trade #10 to Denver Broncos for #20, #51 & a 2026 4th round selection

Since the dust settled from the team’s coaching search that led them to Ben Johnson, I’ve been racking my brain trying to figure out how the Bears can add an additional Day 2 pick in this class. The reality at No. 10 is quite simple: There’s not going to be a lot of “value” for Chicago, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that another team won’t want to leapfrog a group of teams to grab a coveted player. Tight end would be the target for Denver, guaranteeing one of Tyler Warren or Colston Loveland.

For the Bears, it keeps their options open, gives them another Day 2 pick, and allows them to go multiple different ways without feeling like they are reaching. In some ways, this trade is getting a return of about 75 cents on the dollar, but that might be the nature of the first round. I’ve gone back and forth on what I’d like to see them do in this spot. Ultimately, I think the defensive line wins out, with the talent in Round 2 favoring other areas.

Williams fits the athletic bill for Dennis Allen, but didn’t have ideal production at Georgia. Unlike Shemar Stewart, Williams’ instincts and production showed up on tape. He dominated Texas in two games, despite being asked to do things he won’t be asked to do at the NFL level. This is the ultimate gamble with upside, but this is a much better value at 20 than it would have been at 10. I don’t love this pick by any means, but it’s a fair mental compromise for me to make.

2nd (#39) RB TreVeyon Henderson (Ohio State)

I’m still pro Ashton Jeanty at No. 10, but I’m not remotely convinced he’ll last nine selections. From a value standpoint, adding an additional pick and still adding an explosive runner like Henderson could end up being the best of both worlds. Henderson can do it all, including hitting the home run. Most importantly for him, his ability to stay on the field will be most important. He’s not the most ideal pairing with D’Andre Swift, but he does fit a wide zone scheme well, and it would give them the explosive option for Ben Johnson’s eventual one-two punch out of the backfield.

Not only is Henderson a good fit in Johnson’s offense, but he was well-regarded at Ohio State due to his leadership ability and overall character. He has relatively limited touches for a three-year starter, which should help at the next level. I’m still not convinced that Quinshon Judkins isn’t the target, but I’ll keep Henderson here for now.

2nd (#41) iOL Donovan Jackson (Ohio State)

Back-to-back Ohio State picks? You betcha! The Bears could go a multitude of different ways with their first two picks in the second round, including taking another Ohio State product, Tyleik Williams. Jackson is one of my favorite linemen in this class. Not only is he just a damn-good football player, but his ability to slide out to left tackle and help the Buckeyes win a National Championship was impressive.

He possesses the size to maintain that versatility at the next level, which could be valuable over the next few years as veteran players come and go. Jackson is a former five-star recruit who has plenty of experience under his belt. Despite his wide frame, he possesses good athleticism and should be a 10-year starter at any position a team puts him at. He’s said to be another high-character player, which could help the Bears continue to build their long-term answers along the offensive line.

2nd (#51) TE Elijah Arroyo (Miami)

I can’t help but feel that tight end will be a bigger focus than I’m giving it credit for. I’m still very much in the camp of not taking one in the first round, but with an additional selection in Round 2, this could be the perfect storm. Truthfully, I’m not as high on Mason Taylor as most, but I expect him to be the third player at his position off the board. Arroyo is an interesting player, but one who has a high ceiling with the right coaching staff.

Durability is a slight concern for the former Hurricane, but he’s a physical player and a willing blocker. That’s something that Johnson will value in his offense. On top of that, he’s athletic and can move around the formation, based on what he is asked to do. Like most rookie tight ends, he’ll need to add some functional strength to his game. It’s worth noting that Arroyo played in an offense that prioritized blocking. In many ways, he’s the ideal fit on Day 2 for this offense.

3rd (#72) S Andrew Mukuba (Texas)

Every ounce of me wanted to go with a defensive tackle in this spot, but I’ve had to remind myself that the Bears aren’t able to address every need in one draft cycle. On the surface, safety might look like a position of strength. The issue is that Kevin Byard is on the wrong side of 30, and Jaquan Brisker just missed over 70% of the season due to a concussion. Jonathan Owens and Elijah Hicks are fine depth but neither player is someone that should hold them back from planning for the future.

Makuba is a versatile ballhawk that lacks ideal size but makes up for it with his ability to make plays. He could play closer to the line of scrimmage as a nickel of play back as a single-high safety. Due to his lack of size, he’s not an overly physical player, but Allen is known for developing defensive backs. Even if Makuba doesn’t have a defined role in 2025, he’s a future starter with Pro Bowl potential.”

I dont think Denver would trade up. They feel like a team smart enough to realize that they are better off having as many picks as possible between 15-80ish in this draft.

I'd also be pretty annoyed if bears pass on DT through 3 rounds in this draft.

I hope the Jets do that. Slides more trench options to the Bears.
He'd be a great pick for them and hope they give Fields all the help he needs. Would love to see this be his last stop and where produces as a starting QB. Have a couple of buddies that are huge Jets fans that don't feel all that confident in Fields as of now.

That's like a dream scenario right there. DE and RB at #10 and #39 and still getting D.Jackson at #41 and Makuba at #72.......HELLZ YES PLEASE.

Think Kaleb is being a bit underrated right now and has a legit case as RB3 this draft. Think Judkins is getting too much hype right now. He doesn’t look as shifty or elusive as his numbers would suggest. Seen him unable to beat a single defender and get stopped in the open field way too often for my liking. Think Henderson is the better back. Henderson or Kaleb would be my RB3 and skattebo is in the mix too….40 time be damned

Cronin thinks they’re going LT at 10.

I think the Bears will take a LT..............which one I don't know.

Poles has also more than once suggested trading down in this draft. I think a win, win trade could be with the Rams, a team that may be a player away from the Super Bowl. A team with a very good, but aging QB, and a good young defense that could be great with the defensive player they could get at 10. Grant between Turner and Fiske or a shutdown corner like Johnson would give them a scary looking D. Problem from the Bears side though is the Rams don't own a 2nd in this draft, but they do have two 3rd rounders at #90 and #101 which might be enough.

If I’m trading from 10 all the way down to 26, I want both their 3rd rounders and their 2026 1st as a starting point. Probably another pick in 2026 too. Problem is the Rams are probably going to be good again next year so their 1st next year would be another late 1st.

After watching his full season of carries, my thought is that he had an elite interior oline and was constantly running full speed before contact even got to him.

Half the people on this forum could gain 3 yards with the holes they created...

That being said, Jeanty is hard to tackle and makes people miss, a lot.

You are going to ask for the moon, but generally it does not work out that way. The way I see it to trade down in this draft that is not considered a great draft like last year, is you have to find someone who is desperate for that one player they need. The Rams fit that with the age of Stafford. That being said, I really don't think you are going to get a future 1st out of the Rams, two 3rd rounders and a 2026 second maybe.

I dont really see any chance treveyon Henderson is the rb the bears draft if swift is going to be on the roster and taking a decent chunk of snaps this year.
Probably, if Swift is in the long term plans, but if Ben Johnson is ready to dump after '25 you could live with having both on the roster for 1 season. I do think Bears are more likely to grab one of Judkins or Kaleb Johnson in the 2nd though.

Replace Arroyo with someone like Norman-Lott or CJ West and id be over the moon about this draft. No idea if DEN does it.
