Josh Simmons going at 18....??

Kinda interesting,thought he was suppose to be regarded as a higher pick......its his mock.

I see Simmons all over the mock boards, some having him going in the top 10, but also a few with him taken in the late 1st round. I suspect the latter is due to concerns over the recovery his surgery. It's why I'd really like to see him run the full gamut of tests either at his pro day or setting up a private workout for teams considering him with their 1st pick.

No sooner than posting the above when I found this latest mock from CBS Sports:

2025 NFL mock draft: Giants trade up to No. 1 while Steelers also take QB; Raiders and Cowboys add playmakers

Examining how the first week of free agency could impact the draft

25th pick: Josh Simmons.
It would be shocking if the Texans did take an offensive lineman here (think they meant to say didn't). And while Josh Simmons is coming off knee surgery, he could end up being the best tackle in the class.

I'm a bit more surprised with the Bears taking Membou, but only because he's strictly a RT, altho I suppose he could move inside. He performed very well in his week at the Senior Bowl and flat out killed it at the Combine.

Two names I'm seeing more and more in mock drafts for the Bears 10th pick are TE Tyler Warren and RT Armand Membou. Both are somewhat head scratchers, altho not for talent reasons. Warren in particular is considered the undisputed top TE in this draft and has even been drawing comparisons to last year's Brock Bowers, who killed it in his rookie season. But unless the Bears have plans of ditching Cole Kmet in the immediate future, I don't see how we take Warren, as talented as he is. Kmet is signed thru '27, altho according to Spotrac, his contract has an out clause, even if very expensive: POTENTIAL OUT: 2026, 3 YR, $32,993,000; $3,200,000 DEAD CAP - not sure if this means the start of '26 or after that season concludes.

Membou's situation is a bit less curious. He's a RT, in which we're already set with Darnell Wright at this spot. Now it's possible the Bears could still grab him, then simply rotate him him in as needed in the OL. He did play a year at RG, so he does at least have some IOL experience. And he's been one of the OL's fastest risers in this draft.

Fair point. Perhaps I should clarify. He’s a meat and potatoes guy from what I’ve seen. Kind of gives me a, “What if Brian Urlacher was a RB?” kind of guy.

If you have the time, check out the 2nd half of the Arizona State v Texas college playoff game. Skattebo almost willed ASU to victory, but they fell short.

We are getting Jeanty....put your money on it.....

Bears are most likely team to draft Ashton Jeanty, according to betting odds

Boise State's Ashton Jeanty, widely viewed as the top running back in the 2025 NFL draft, could be heading to Chicago.

Ya well,I'm not.......not sure which way we go to tellya the truth.

This site averages out all the mocks. According to them, Jeanty is gone before Bears pick at 10.
