With the 2025 NFL draft fast approaching, the Chicago Bears are preparing to continue their haul of offseason roster additions.
Having the 10th overall pick and addressing their biggest needs on both sides of the trenches in free agency, the Bears will have the opportunity to take the best available player on their board when the draft starts.
Chicago is expected by many to add a playmaker in this year's draft, specifically at the running back position, but that doesn't mean that will be their best fit. With four picks in the first 75 selections of this year's draft, Chicago will have plenty of opportunity to find the right playmaking fit.
This week, NFL.com's Chad Reuter released his top two ideal fits for each team in the league in the first two rounds of the draft. While there's plenty of excitement around the Bears adding a running back, Reuter stayed in the trenches when finding the ideal draft fits for Chicago.
Round 1, Pick 10: Armand Membou, OT, Missouri
One of the biggest standouts at this year's scouting combine, Armand Membou is a massive offensive tackle who could compete with Braxton Jones for the starting left tackle job in his rookie year. The Bears have emphasized rebuilding their offensive line to protect Caleb Williams in his second season and create a better run game behind him, the addition of Membou would continue that trend. In over 2,100 collegiate snaps, Membou only allowed three sacks, and that's the type of protection that can take a quarterback and the team to the next level of contention.
Round 2, Pick 39: Kenneth Grant, DT, Michigan
Kenneth Grant won't receive as much hype and attention as fellow Wolverine Mason Graham, but he deserves similar respect as a top defensive tackle. A very powerful athlete, Grant didn't produce high sack numbers in college but has the tools to be a force to be reckoned with at the next level. Chicago wouldn't have to ask much out of him to start as they have Grady Jarrett, Andrew Billings, and Gervon Dexter Sr., at the position already. Grant would come in with plenty of untapped potential who can learn from those in front of him and grow into a potential disruptor on defense.
