It's early in the 2025 NFL mock draft season, but so far, two prospects have become popular picks for the Chicago Bears.

The Bears are in a prime position to shore up the offensive line for quarterback Caleb Williams with $80 million in salary cap space and the 10th overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft. But outside of former first-round pick Darnell Wright, general manager Ryan Poles hasn't hit on offensive linemen. Could that change in this year's draft?

In a new mock draft from USA Today's Michael Middlehurst-Schwartz, the Bears make a shocking move at 10th overall -- forgoing a top offensive tackle in Texas' Kelvin Banks Jr. for Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty.

General manager Ryan Poles has plenty of work to do with this roster, between free agency and the 2025 NFL draft, to make this team a playoff contender next season. It certainly helps that Chicago has four picks in the top 72 in the NFL draft, where they can address key needs, including the offensive line, which has several holes to fill.

The NFL's 18 teams that missed the playoffs can turn their attention to the draft. How might the top picks play out come April?

The Chicago Bears have a lot of work to do over the next few weeks to get the offseason started on the right foot. The first order of business is landing the coaching hire and the Bears already have an extensive list of potential candidates lined up for interviews in the coming days.

The Chicago Bears are prepared to do whatever it takes to get their next head coach. They have started the process of requesting to interview assistant coaches on other teams and are even prepared to trade draft picks to get their next head coach.
