His mock from yesterday…

10. Chicago Bears, Top Draft Pick Prediction: Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State​

Previous selection in Mock Draft 4.0: Ashton Jeanty, RB

Best Draft Targets for the Bears With the 10th Pick:

  • Offensive Line: The Bears overhauled the interior offensive line and have Darnell Wrightlocked in at right tackle, but that still leaves Braxton Jones as a less-than-ideal left tackle who is also in the final year of his contract. Ohio State’s Josh Simmons is a good fit, so long as his medicals check out. Or they could target a lineman with potential guard/tackle versatility like Missouri’s Armand Membou or LSU’s Will Campbell.
  • Ashton Jeanty: If the Bears are comfortable with the offensive line as is, adding Jeanty with this selection could take some pressure off Caleb Williams.
  • Tyler Warren: The Bears have a capable tight end in Cole Kmet under contract through 2027, but Warren would be an upgrade. Kmet’s contract is also structured in such a way that Chicago can save some money by moving on after the 2025 season.
Who Calls the Shots in the Bears Draft Room?

GM Ryan Poles (fourth year) has final say over roster construction. Poles was previously with the Chiefs since 2009, working under GM Brett Veach as director of player personnel.

Key Stats & Notes for the Bears Heading into the 2025 NFL Draft:

  • Gained 20 or more yards on 4.4% of offensive plays, ranked 28th.
  • D’Andre Swift ranked 47th out of 47 qualified running backs in rushing yards over expected per attempt, per NextGenStats.
  • 26.9% of offensive sets of downs led to a third-and-long situation (seven or more yards), ranked 31st.
  • Generated pressure in 2.5 seconds or less on 20.3% of opponent dropbacks, ranked 24th.
  • Allowed 8.4 yards per attempt when in man coverage, ranked 30th.
  • Allowed 51.4% completion rate on throws 10 or more yards downfield, ranked 28th.
  • Allowed 10 or more yards on 13.1% of carries by running backs, ranked 30th.

So he’s not accurate in his mocks; he’s just accurate at which guys actually go in the top 100 but not at what pick.

The funny thing about Jeanty is that he SHOULD be there at 10 or so. He's a small step below Bijan as a prospect and even Bijan went 8 overall. There really isn't a reason Jeanty should go much higher given that teams aren't really desperate for RBs. But IDK

I don’t know why people put him below Bijan as a prospect. I think he’s every bit the prospect that BR was

Let's trade away most of our draft capital for a pre injured player.

Absolutely moronic

I barely snuck in my edit before this post, but I don't really like the deal itself... not that I believe it's an accurate trade offer to begin with. As much as I do think pretty Ricky has been on fire, I just can't buy that they'd get this specifics to this level of detail.

Trading three premium picks for any player in this draft would be idiotic.

Yea, I can't give up both 2nds. I expect 10, 39, and 41 to all play a significant role on this team by next season. Can't consolidate that for one guy. If the Bears were a legit contender, different discussion, but can't do that when the Bears have so much work to do on this roster.

Yes, common sense is acting like it's the exact same players as last season and that the new coaches and scheme are good but not the trenches.

You think the trenches are good enough?

LT needs a long term answer. Edge needs at minimum more depth and realistically a quality pass rusher. DT needs more depth and some youth. IOL needs depth.

The Bears should be able to add 3 absolute starters out of the top 4 picks. How they can even consider that trade is beyond me.

Poles better not be trading up for a RB! This is a great draft to have 2 second round picks. I would prefer a trade down to acquire a 3rd second rounder. Poles scares the shit out of me when it comes to his handling of draft picks.

My sources tell me above Poles draft board he has a banner that says….. YOLO!!
