Great signing, might seem like a lot on the surface, but all while Caleb is on a rookie deal, and that position is slowly becoming one of the most important and versatile on the defense.

and it might trigger another team to try and move up ahead of the Saints to get Sanders. So even if NO doesn't take him, at least 2 QBs should go in the top 9 now. With Dart being a potential 3rd QB to go if someone jumps NO. This seems to rule out the Bears moving back though, because there would be no reason to jump to 10 for a QB if the next team to potentially take one would be PIT at 21. You could easily jump to the 17-20 range and grab one before them instead of going all the way up to 10.

Green in the 2nd and Arroyo in the 3rd would be crazy.

Looks like the Saints are going to need a QB, and a good chance they take one at 9:

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?

A very cool page on NFL.com, using AI to provide insight: https://www.nfl.com/draft/iq/ Basically they are saying the Bears will pick one of the players in the pic with #10 or trade down.

Dane Brugler, who publishes "The Beast" Draft Guide every year has Banks listed as OG2 after Tyler Booker. Even though he played OT, Brugler projects him as a Guard. I thought that was interesting.

If they pick Banks, I would not be surprised or disappointed, they know better than me (most of the time ). I guess it comes down to position premium vs BPA. I believe Poles even hinted at how they may draft in the Hoge & Jahns podcast. I don't know if anyone else listened to it, but he alluded to the fact that they sort of "look ahead" and war game out the scenarios and combination of picks. So they don't pick a position that they can take later with little drop off in performance.

6'6" is tall for a Dennis Allen DT. They might slide him outside on non-passing downs? His get off has always been an issue, he is not very twitchy or bendy to be a true pass rush Edge.

For me, OL at 10 will depend on who is there. I think Will Campbell is probably selected over Jeanty, Warren, and every Edge player after Carter. However, if Cambell is gone, then I think they would take Jeanty or Warren over Banks/Simmons/Membou. Now if Campbell, Jeanty, and Warren are gone, then Banks seems to be a Poles type of pick. So in summary, my belief is: Campbell, then Jeanty/Warren, then Banks. The wild card for me is Dennis Allen, will he have enough influence on Poles/Johnson to get "his" guy at #10 (Edge or DT).

Yeah, and I thought that was a great pick at #41 lol.

I hope he wears some anti-concussion gear this year like the Q-collar.

I did one with no trades or anyone dropping to 10. I really like how it turned out.

Based on their draft slots, the Bears can easily get 4-5 of those guys. I would not be surprised if at least 4 guys listed are Bears in a few weeks.

Yeah, he is a camp body for sure, especially after adding Oz and Duvernay.

Membou is only 6'3", will more than likely slide inside.

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

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.

Yeah, if he can't find a trade partner, I think he just hits the trenches, OL, DL, or Edge.

What would your draft board look like for the potential players available at #10? Assuming Hunter, Carter and Graham are the only positional players that for sure won't make it to 10, out of these guys, how would you rank them on your board for the Bears? McMillan, WR Jeanty, RB Campbell, OL Warren, TE Barron, CB Starks, S Membou, OL Green, Edge Johnson, CB Burden, WR Pearce Jr, Edge Grant, DL Simmons, OL Banks, OL

The more this goes on, the only 3 players that may be available at 10 that I think Poles would select are Campbell, Jeanty, and Warren. I think he looks to trade down if all 3 of those guys are gone. This is assuming Carter, Hunter, and Graham are gone too.

Here is the PFF Draft Guide, so big, I had to split it in two for those that don't have access to it. 2025 RELEASE PFF DRAFT GUIDE (p1).pdf

I feel like Jeanty is one of the guys that Poles wouldn't trade away if he is sitting there at 10. For me it feels like Graham, Jeanty, Warren and Campbell are the 4 guys that Poles would pick if they were there at 10. My assumption is only one will be available.
