The 2025 NFL Draft is fast approaching, and the Chicago Bears find themselves in an exciting position. With multiple high-value picks and a chance to shape the team’s future, fans are eager to see what moves general manager Ryan Poles and head coach Matt Eberflus will make. The Bears are looking to add talent on both sides of the ball, and this mock draft explores some of the best possible selections to help the team take the next step.
First Round: Caleb Williams, QB, USC
The Bears have the No. 1 overall pick, and this decision feels almost inevitable. Caleb Williams is widely regarded as the best quarterback prospect in years. The USC star has elite arm strength, mobility, and the ability to extend plays. Many scouts compare him to Patrick Mahomes because of his ability to make off-script throws and read defenses quickly. The Bears have Justin Fields, but Williams offers a higher ceiling and a chance for a fresh start at quarterback. If the Bears draft Williams, expect Fields to be traded for additional draft capital.
First Round: Rome Odunze, WR, Washington
After securing their franchise quarterback, the Bears must give him weapons. With their second first-round pick (via Carolina), they grab Washington’s Rome Odunze. At 6’3”, Odunze has the size, speed, and hands to be a dominant NFL receiver. He would pair perfectly with DJ Moore, forming a dynamic duo that gives Williams a reliable target right away. The Bears have lacked a true No. 2 receiver, and Odunze fills that need immediately.
Second Round: Tyler Guyton, OT, Oklahoma
The Bears have made improvements to their offensive line but still need more protection for their new quarterback. Tyler Guyton is an athletic, versatile tackle with experience on both the left and right sides. He excels in pass protection and has the strength to help in the run game. Adding Guyton would give Williams extra security, allowing him more time to develop as an NFL quarterback.
Third Round: Kamren Kinchens, S, Miami
While offense is a priority, the Bears also need to strengthen their defense. Kamren Kinchens is a ball-hawking safety who brings physicality and leadership to the secondary. With Eddie Jackson gone, the Bears need a long-term answer at safety. Kinchens’ ability to read quarterbacks and make plays in coverage would make him an immediate contributor.
Fourth Round: Trey Benson, RB, Florida State
The Bears’ running back room has talent, but adding Trey Benson would provide depth and a different skill set. Benson is a tough, downhill runner who excels in short-yardage situations. He also has underrated receiving ability, making him a valuable weapon in both the running and passing game.
Fifth Round: Jalen McMillan, WR, Washington
Doubling down on receivers could be a smart move, especially with Jalen McMillan still available in the later rounds. The Washington wideout is a speedy playmaker who excels in the slot. With Moore and Odunze outside, McMillan could thrive underneath and give the Bears an exciting trio of weapons for Williams.
Sixth Round: Mohamoud Diabate, LB, Utah
The Bears’ linebacker corps has been solid, but adding depth is always important. Mohamoud Diabate is a high-motor player with great tackling skills. He may not start immediately, but he could be a valuable rotational piece and a key contributor on special teams.
Seventh Round: Hunter Nourzad, C, Penn State
Finding a late-round steal on the offensive line is always a good move. Hunter Nourzad is a smart, tough interior lineman who could develop into a reliable backup center. The Bears have had issues with interior offensive line play, and Nourzad provides much-needed depth.
Final Thoughts
This mock draft gives the Bears a franchise quarterback, an elite receiver, and key upgrades across the board. If they execute a draft like this, the team could be on the verge of serious contention in the NFC. Bears fans have been waiting for a true Super Bowl-caliber roster, and this draft could be the foundation of something special.
