We’re one day removed from the 2024 NFL draft, where the Bears completely transformed their offense by selecting quarterback Caleb Williams and wide receiver Rome Odunze. So it seems like the perfect time for our first 2025 mock draft! If you’re thinking to yourself, “Surely this is too early for a mock draft,” you’re right! But mock drafts are fun, so why not? Of course a LOT will change between now and next April, but with spring games already underway around the nation, it’s just as good of a time as any to begin digging into the college prospects who are set to step into the spotlight– and speculate wildly about how they might fit with the Bears. As always, this mock draft is not an attempt to predict what the Bears will actually do when they’re back in the War Room next offseason. That’s impossible. Nor is it meant as a recommendation of what the Bears should do. This mock draft is meant to be a fun way to learn about players in the college game.
