The Bears 2025 Draft Thread

Only want RB if they can move Swift, dont know what he is worth.

The whole first round is slotted, so if you get the same guy at 10 you could get at 20, its millions of dollars difference.

Here's the offensive tackle edition and as usual, only the 10th pick will have multiple names listed.

10a. Will Campbell, LT
10b. Kelvin Banks, Jr, LT
10c. Armand Membou, RT
10d. Josh Simmons, LT

39. Derrick Harmon, DT
41. Quinshon Judkins, RB
72. Jared Ivey, DE/Edge

I'm pretty sure Campbell will be gone before we're on the clock. Likewise Membou. But I still listed Banks Jr ahead of him because Membou, while more highly rated, is a pure RT, and we're already set there. I'd love to elevate Simmons in this list, but I haven't seen enough to confirm he's ready for the start of the season after his surgery. And honestly I'm particularly leery of taking any potential draftee, regardless of position, who's less than a season removed from critical knee surgery.

As for the other picks, I continue to swap 39 & 41 to defense/offense-offense/defense, depending on who's available at those respective slots. Ivey at 72 has fared well when facing his offensive counterparts in the talented SEC. This makes for a good training ground when going to the next level.
