Based on their draft slots, the Bears can easily get 4-5 of those guys. I would not be surprised if at least 4 guys listed are Bears in a few weeks.

Yeah, he is a camp body for sure, especially after adding Oz and Duvernay.

Membou is only 6'3", will more than likely slide inside.

Do the Bears go with 3x QBs on the 53-man?

MJD was a very solid NFL RB, I have no clue why he is in NFL media on the official website posting a mock like this: https://www.nfl.com/news/maurice-jones-drew-2025-nfl-mock-draft-1-0-jets-land-travis-hunter-bears-broncos-raiders-pick-rbs I couldn't even get out of the top 10. He has Hunter going 7th AFTER McMillan, then with Graham and Warren on the board (among others), he has the Bears taking Henderson at 10 as RB2. Seriously, this has to be for clicks, otherwise, this is embarrassing.

Yeah, if he can't find a trade partner, I think he just hits the trenches, OL, DL, or Edge.

What would your draft board look like for the potential players available at #10? Assuming Hunter, Carter and Graham are the only positional players that for sure won't make it to 10, out of these guys, how would you rank them on your board for the Bears? McMillan, WR Jeanty, RB Campbell, OL Warren, TE Barron, CB Starks, S Membou, OL Green, Edge Johnson, CB Burden, WR Pearce Jr, Edge Grant, DL Simmons, OL Banks, OL

The more this goes on, the only 3 players that may be available at 10 that I think Poles would select are Campbell, Jeanty, and Warren. I think he looks to trade down if all 3 of those guys are gone. This is assuming Carter, Hunter, and Graham are gone too.

Just found out there is a 125MB file attachment limit for each user.

Part 2 2025 RELEASE PFF DRAFT GUIDE (p2).pdf

Here is the PFF Draft Guide, so big, I had to split it in two for those that don't have access to it. 2025 RELEASE PFF DRAFT GUIDE (p1).pdf

I feel like Jeanty is one of the guys that Poles wouldn't trade away if he is sitting there at 10. For me it feels like Graham, Jeanty, Warren and Campbell are the 4 guys that Poles would pick if they were there at 10. My assumption is only one will be available.

I have seen people talking about CLE potentially wanting to move back into the 1st to take Sanders, especially if they take Hunter at #2 and Sanders is still there at #10, after NO at #9. The potential trade would be #10 for #33, #67, and a 2026 1st. Why would CLE do it? They need a QB on a rookie deal, can't pass up on a generational talent like Hunter, and they just signed Garrett to a huge deal. They are essentially getting their 2026 1st rounder a year early, and the premium for that is #33 and #67. Why would CHI do it? They would only od it if a blue-chipper doesn't fall to them at #10. The hope is they won't be in the top 10 anymore anytime soon. They would then have #33, #39, #41, #67, and #72 in the 2025 draft AND 2x 1st rounders in 2026. I would assume they could also trade back into the first if they wanted to OR even trade back from #33 because those first few picks always seems to be traded on Day 2.

After running a bunch of mocks, if Sanders goes in the top 9, these are more than likely the available players at #10. I listed the next 23 players to get to pick 32. Some of these guys will slide into the 2nd, but for me, if one of the top 9 don't drop, I would rather take anything to move back because I don't see much difference from Green to Scourton or Membou to Zabel, etc. Thoughts? Barron - CB Starks - S Campbell - LB Membou - OL Green - ED Johnson - CB Burden - WR Pearce - ED Ezeiruaku - ED Grant - DL Simmons - OL Egbuka - WR Banks - OL Golden - WR Nolen - DL Hampton - RB Loveland - TE Williams - ED Steward - ED Walker - ED Zabel - OL Scourton - ED Harmon - DL

Good depth piece and another STer. The ST unit is going to be a top 10 unit this year.

I have not seen him drafted higher than 13, but right now between 18 and 32 is his range. The weird thing is, he was productive, fits the 3T mold perfectly, has a high PFF grade and measurables. So if you took the school and name off the player, why is he so much worse than Graham? Playing in the SEC, he had 14 TFL and 6.5 sacks as an All-American. Graham had 7 TFL and 3.5 sacks as an All-American playing in the Big Ten. Nolen even put up those numbers after transferring from Texas A&M, which feels noteworthy.

According to NFL.com's Draft Tracker, Nolen is the 5th best prospect and 1 of only 6 players with a grade above 6.50.

Who is your sleeper pick at #10? Who is no one talking about, but could be a selection at #10? I am going to say Walter Nolen, DT, Ole Miss. He is ranked between 13-32 in pretty much every mock but to me, seems a little underrated. Why Nolen? He is the most physically gifted DT, had high production, and graded out as one of the best DTs in 2024. He also fits Dennis Allen's scheme and is an ideal size for a 3T. He could also be a trade-down option if the Bears stay in the teens. What are your thoughts?

It comes down to roster construction. It would be nice to have Jones as a backup, but that's a luxury, especially with Kiran on the roster. I could be wrong but it feels like Poles would want to get max value for Jones if he was planning on not extending him.

I still think if they go LT, they are trading Jones either on draft day or at the deadline. I might be wrong but with how the high draft picks work, they almost always have to be a Day 1 starter in some capacity.

Zaccheaus for PR and Duvernay for both PR/KR?

It is interesting looking at the mock drafts this year as the Bears have no real consensus player pick like in previous years. However, OL is selected in over 50% of the picks. OL, Edge, and RB are the 3 highest position groups. About 56% is OL, 19% Edge, 18% RB, and DT at 7%. Will Campbell - 24.5% Kelvin Banks - 21.5% Ashton Jeanty - 11.3% Others - 42.7% Mykel Williams Omarion Hampton Josh Simmons James Pearce Jr So it seems that at #10, the Bears will more than likely pick an OL, Edge, or RB.

I know they picked the Bears last year because of Caleb's rookie year, but this year would've been so much better to see Johnson at work with his new staff and the revamped roster.

One thing I noticed with these mock draft simulators, there is a huge difference depending on how many QBs go in the top 10, with some having Dart go in the top 10 (Kiper has him going to NO at #9). So the draft looks completely different if 3 QBs go in the top 10.

Ok, elite is the wrong word, more like "true starters". Moore was 9th amongst WR's last season in receptions in one of the worst offenses in the NFL. People refer to George Pickens as a WR1, yet he only had 5 more receptions and the same amount of TDs than Odunze, who was WR3 on one of the worst offenses in the NFL. So unless you think you need to upgrade over Moore or Odunze, then you probably shouldn't look to go WR anytime in the first couple of rounds.
