There will be no shortage of options for the Chicago Bears In the draft of the NFL 2025, even with their most recent additions to the list. Taking three choices in the first 41 selections, the Bears will seek to continue their extreme renovation from their list for the new head coach Ben Johnson.
Chicago has already made two big movements in two separate trades when they have acquired Jonah Jackson of the Rams of Los Angeles for a choice of sixth round and Joe Thuney Chiefs of Kansas City For a choice of fourth round in 2026. These two professions show the importance of the front office and the coaches staff to improve their offensive line, a unit with which Johnson prospered during his time as an offensive coordinator for the Detroit lions.
Recently, before the two trades made by the Bears this week, Jordan Reid d’Espn published a new simulated draft which made the team focused on upgrading the trenches both in violation and defense. Even with the two trades, Chicago could benefit from the investment more in their offensive line with Jackson and Thuney who should currently have a year remaining on their contracts. The Bears could target young game leaders to improve other areas on their list, or prospects to possibly replace the veterans newly acquired on the offensive line.
Here is an overview of the two -round simulation project, where the Bears are entirely focused on the trenches:
Round 1, n ° 10: Armand Membou, OL, Missouri
One of the largest elevators based on its combined performance last week, Armand Membou should always obtain real consideration of the Bears despite their recent additions. Jonah Jackson played three different positions, the two places on duty and the center during his stay in the NFL, and Joe Thuney displayed all his versatility for the Chiefs last year. It would be difficult to keep a player like Membou written this top on the bench, so Chicago should be creative with his placement of each player, but the talent is undeniable.
Round 2, n ° 39: Donovan Jackson, OT, Ohio State
Folty after a change of positions ranging from guard to fighting on the offensive line, the selection of Donovan Jackson is quite intriguing, even after the new additions. This new regime has already proven that the offensive line will be their absolute priority, which places everyone on the list on high alert. The left wrap Braxton Jones may not be the highest considered at his post, but he does a respectable job, which could be at stake if the team wrote a left tackle like Jackson in the second round. Caleb Williams’ Blindeid protection will be the key, and Jackson could present the whole position battle.
Round 2, n ° 41: Nic Scourton, Edge, Texas A&M
The offensive line has already seen their upgrades, and now attention should move to the defensive side of the ball, in particular their rushers of passes. Climbing sword led the team with a total of 5.5 bags last season, and that will simply not cut it for the defensive coordinator Dennis Allen. The depth and help are necessary and Scourton, a large athlete who would adapt well to the defense of Allen, and would bring relief for the sweat which has ensured the charge since its arrival halfway in the 2023 season.
