Latest espn moc has Jeanty going a pick before the Raiders selection so, who knows.

Really want a 'boring' OL or DL pick and get a RB later in the draft. Dunno why the Bears can't find a competent one later in the draft or as an UDFA like seemingly every other team. Taking one in RD1 feels like an overpay, regardless of how well they do. I expect 5 seasons at most and gone to free agency even if they're good. I'm not a fan of paying RBs past their 1st contract, they can fall off a cliff at any point. Saquon proved to be the exception.

This draft should be very simple for Ryan Poles and Ben Johnson. Use your first three picks on DL and OL, then pick up a RB and Safety in no particular order.

"The New York Giants (pick No.3) and Las Vegas Raiders (pick No. 6) are the most likely teams who would select Jeanty before Chicago."

Huh?

None of the teams ahead of the bears are in a position to take a RB in the top of the first. You have to be able to compete before you take a RB in the first. Jacksonville, Las Vegas, and the Giants are complete shit. If they draft a RB they will suck harder next year. When you’re in that position, you take trenches or QB.

First pick should be LT, DE, or DT
Next two should be RB , DL or S

Unless your front office is a shit show, which is the case for most teams picking in the top ten.

I hope so too. I'm hoping they're able to trade back far enough to grab an extra second or third.

Get a DT like Nolan with that first pick, JT Tuimoloau with your top second rounder, Judkins with your next second rounder, and the top Guard or OT on the board with the last second rounder.

Snag a FLEX TE like Oronde Gadsden with your third round pick. Gadsden is going to be one helluva good FLEX TE. He's Trey Burton without the nagging injuries and anxieties.

Trade up into round 4 and grab the best Safety on the board. There are going to be pro quality safeties still on the board in this draft.

This team does have position player talent on both sides of the ball. None of those position players are going to look as good as they should until the Bears defensive line can terrorize opposing QBs/HBs and their Offensive line can buy their QB more time and create better running lanes for their HBs.

They will have a winning record and maybe even snag one of the lower WC slots with a mock like this, and they'll only improve as those younger players make their strides further in 2026.
