The 2025 NFL Draft is just two weeks away, and the Chicago Bears are finalizing their draft board as they look to add more playmakers to their roster.
Chicago has seven total draft selections, including the 10th overall pick, two high second rounders and four other selections. After their big free agent additions, the Bears have flexibility with how they can attack this draft -- selecting for best available rather than need.
In a new mock draft from USA Today's Michael Middlehurst-Schwartz, the best-case scenario unfolds for Chicago at No. 10. With running back Ashton Jeanty, offensive tackle Armand Membou and tight end Tyler Warren all off the board, that leaves LSU offensive lineman Will Campbell to fall right into Chicago's laps.
While the Bears addressed the offensive line in a huge way this offseason -- retooling the entire interior with guards Joe Thuney and Jonah Jackson and center Drew Dalman -- that shouldn't stop them from drafting the best player still on the board, which is Campbell.
There are questions as to where Campbell will ultimately play in the NFL, given his arm length. But head coach Ben Johnson said arm length isn't a problem until it proves to be, which means Campbell could be the team's long-term left tackle.
Braxton Jones, who's started the last three seasons at left tackle, is recovering from a broken ankle and will be limited to start training camp. But Jones is entering a contract year and isn't necessarily the long-term answer. If Campbell is available at 10th overall, it would be a steal for Chicago.
