Who is your sleeper pick at #10? Who is no one talking about, but could be a selection at #10? I am going to say Walter Nolen, DT, Ole Miss. He is ranked between 13-32 in pretty much every mock but to me, seems a little underrated. Why Nolen? He is the most physically gifted DT, had high production, and graded out as one of the best DTs in 2024. He also fits Dennis Allen's scheme and is an ideal size for a 3T. He could also be a trade-down option if the Bears stay in the teens. What are your thoughts?

I am glad Poles didn't get an itchy trigger finger and burn down his draft capital with a trade up. Now the Bears have 2 picks in the next 9 picks. I assume that Sanders will go before the Bears pick, so there will only be 6 players taken by the time the Bears pick twice. RB - Henderson, Judkins, Johnson, Skattebo WR - Higgins, Noel, Burden, Harris OT - Ersery IOL - Wilson, Savaiinaea DT - Alexander, Turner, Norman-Lott Edge - Green, Ezeiruaku, Scourton, Jackson, Tuimoloau LB - Schwesinger CB - Johnson (injury concerns), Revel, Amos S - Emmanwori, Winston, Watts The 4 players in bold have a first-round grade and Green and Johnson were both…

I want) a great pass rusher, that would add so much to the defense, could be DE or DT. Tyrek Williams or James Pierce Don't want) Shemar Stewart, I hate players with no production Surprise) Matt Golden, this team is missing that one speed merchant Ben had in Detroit. He is now rated in the teens. They do) trade back and get Kenneth Grant or Walter Nolen. I think they need one more rotation guy at DT. Billings -Jarret-Dexter , missing the 4 th DT

He got his body back...🙏

10. Kelvin Banks Jr OT Texas- I think there needs to be competition for both Jone and Kiran 39. Quinshon Judkins Ohio St, RB- Swift is not an every down back and Johnson can't avoid concussions with his running style. This prospect is a tough inside runner and a beast in pass pro. 41. Mike Green Edge-Sacks are scarce and the Bears need serious competition at this position, his stats in college are impressive. 72.. Elijah Arroyo TE Miami I have watched this player practice at the Senior Bowl and he was a matchup nightmare. A toy for Ben Johnson. 148. Malachi Moore S Miami- an aging Byard and a concussed Brisker tells me the Bears need depth at the posit…

This is excellent news. We really are going to be a team for several years. Edwards has been playing very well. I wonder how long Edmunds will stick around, we are paying him a fortune. He's got all the measurables, but his production has been lacking. Maybe the new scheme and coaches will unlock him, otherwise, his days could be numbered - probably after this year. It gets very cheap to cut him next year.

1-10. Tyler Warren 2-39 trevon Henderson 2-41 Aireonte Ersery 3-72 Jack Sawyer 5-148 Jaylon Reed/ S 7-233 Cody Lindenberg/ LB 7-240 Kyonte Hamilton/DT I like a few other players better but would have no problem if this is where we ended up.

Needs: IOL, depth future starter OT, depth, competition at LT QB, none RB, duel back role starter WR, added depth, speed TE, depth #2 (weapon) DE, edge ( starter capable) DT, depth ( NT) starter capable LB, depth future starter CB, depth S, depth future starter Priority: DE - RB- LT- NT - S- WR- TE - LB 6 blue chip players: Hunter - Graham - Walker - Jeanty - Warren - Carter 2 top 10 QBS Ward and Sanders Next 6: Campbell - …

One of these guys will be there at 10, pick your guy in the poll, then post them 1-5 in the comments for your order.

MJD was a very solid NFL RB, I have no clue why he is in NFL media on the official website posting a mock like this: https://www.nfl.com/news/maurice-jones-drew-2025-nfl-mock-draft-1-0-jets-land-travis-hunter-bears-broncos-raiders-pick-rbs I couldn't even get out of the top 10. He has Hunter going 7th AFTER McMillan, then with Graham and Warren on the board (among others), he has the Bears taking Henderson at 10 as RB2. Seriously, this has to be for clicks, otherwise, this is embarrassing.

With the 17th, I would pick Gray Zabel...

Reports are swirling around the possibility that Derek Carr may need surgery and be out indefinitely. With the Saints at the 9th pick that puts a QB in the mix at their pick.

A no brainer just got done. It seems that Poles is making the right choices all the time. Let Jenkins leave Resign Gordon Let Allen leave

Using the most likely draft selections from 1-9, what positional group rank do you think the Bears would most likely pick given the available options?

Thought it was interesting to see where the books have the draft odds starting with the highest names tied to the Bears and than on down. NFL Draft position Over/Unders: Mason Graham (5.5) Will Campbell (5.5) Armand Membou (6.5) Sanders (8.5) Jalon Walker (8.5) Ashton Jeanty (9.5) Tyler Warren (9.5) Will Johnson (11.5) Mikel Williams (15.5) JihadCampbell (15.5) Tetairoa McMillan (17.5) Matthew Golden (17.5) Mike Green (17.5) Jayden Barron (18.5) Banks Jr. (18.5) Colston Loveland (19.5) Omarion Hampton (19.5) Jaxson Dart (24.5) Emeka Egbuka (29.5)

New pictures of Dexter show a slimmer player, closer to 280ish than last years 312. I wonder if Allen is going to switch him to DE, and that increases our need for a DT in the draft. Interesting.

Do the Bears go with 3x QBs on the 53-man?

I keep trying to figure out what kind of strategy we are likely to see with this upcoming draft from the Bears, but I'm stuck because I have no idea how the new coaches and Poles see some of the current players. In my mind, I think it's mostly their evaluation of these five players that will be most crucial: -Kiran Amegadjie - He was obviously drafted to be the future LT. He was rushed into service last year when they had no intention of getting him in a game last year, even before he was hurt in the preseason and missed valuable experience, and as a result had some very bad reps but also had plenty of good ones. He probably has some flexibility as a swing tackle …

Disclaimer: this is not about what is best long term... We talked a lot about blue chip players in the past. We currently have around 10. Looking at this draft, there aren't as many "can't miss" prospects at ten, as in the past. Looking at our 10 pick with the lens of who makes us better faster isn't usually best in the long run. Who is your guy in this draft that's an instant upgrade as a starter? Take into account learning curve per position. Please don't use someone that won't be available. Gimme your guy and why...
