It’s very clear that the Chicago Bears are entering one of, if not the most critical off seasons in franchise history. Coming off the heels of yet another underwhelming 5-win season, General Manager Ryan Poles was able to hold on to his job for at least another year or two. But with his potential franchise quarterback Caleb Williams heading into his sophomore season after a highly encouraging rookie campaign, Chicago’s long-term rebuild might be entering the final stretch.
So, with the 2025 NFL Draft only a couple months away, it’s the perfect time to start coming up with mock drafts and get a glimpse of what the future looks like for the Monsters of the Midway. This will be the first of my two Bears mock drafts, with the other one coming after the first few weeks of free agency. Lastly, this mock will only cover the first 3 rounds, while mock draft 2.0 will include all 7 rounds along with potential draft day trades.
Round 1
T – Will Campbell (LSU) (Pick 10)
Round 2
EDGE – JT Tuimoloau (Ohio State) (Pick 39)
G – Tyler Booker (Alabama) (Pick 41)
Round 3
RB – Quinshon Judkins (Ohio State) (Pick 72)
Selection Breakdown
Will Campbell - If this year’s Super Bowl taught the Bears anything, it’s that building up the trenches, especially on the offensive side of the ball needs to be the top priority. Campbell has the unique ability to play either the tackle or guard position at a productive level. That would be a perfect trait to have while playing on a Bears offensive line that currently is severely lacking depth in both places. Campbell is also the highest graded offensive lineman in this draft class according to PFF.
JT Tuimoloau - Other than loading up the trenches, the Bears also need to use one of their premium draft picks on a dominant pass rusher to pair alongside Montez Sweat. Last season, Chicago had an average level pass rushing unit collecting 40 sacks with Montez Sweat’s 5.5 sacks leading the team. Adding a player like Tuimoloau would be a great addition to their defensive front and would take some of the attention off of Sweat to give him more sack opportunities.
Tyler Booker - Once again, it is worth mentioning just how important it is that the Bears put the majority of their resources into the offensive line this offseason. With current right guard Tevin Jenkins most likely hitting free agency, Chicago could instantly snag his replacement by drafting Tyler Booker out of Alabama. Booker is a very good run blocker but does grade as only an average pass blocker. Regardless, he would most likely be the day one starter at either left or right guard for the Bears depending on what additions they make during free agency.
Quinshon Judkins - The running back class in the 2025 draft is being widely regarded as one of the best and easily the deepest in recent history. With that being said, there is no reason for the Bears to not take advantage of that and draft a running back on day 2. Judkins ran for over 1,000 yards in all three of his collegiate seasons at Ole Miss and Ohio State. Judkins is one of those bruiser types of backs that seeks out contact and is one of the best at getting yards after contact. Therefore, I think that he would be a perfect fit as a duo with the current running back in Chicago, D’andre Swift.

With free agency still ahead this offseason, it is difficult to try and come up with the perfect mock draft for the Chicago Bears, which is why this one is only the first three rounds. But once the chaos of the first wave of free agency dies down, we will have a better idea of how the Bears will approach the 2025 NFL Draft.
