2025 NFL mock draft: Bears strengthen the trenches at No. 10
The Chicago Bears spent free agency shoring up their roster in the trenches with some big-name additions, including offensive linemen Joe Thuney, Jonah Jackson and Drew Dalman, as well as defensive linemen Grady Jarrett and Dayo Odeyingbo.
Now, general manager Ryan Poles will continue to build up this roster for new head coach Ben Johnson heading into the 2025 NFL draft. The Bears have seven picks, including four in the Top 72. After addressing the offensive line and defensive line in a big way in free agency, Poles said the team's draft boards in "wide open," starting with the 10th overall selection.
But, in a new mock draft from NFL Network's Daniel Jeremiah, Chicago opts to continue overhauling the offensive line with the selection of LSU's Will Campbell, who many believe is the top offensive lineman in this draft class. And, in the perfect scenario -- which includes the Las Vegas Raiders drafting running back Ashton Jeanty -- Campbell falls into the Bears' laps at No. 10.
The overhaul of the offensive line is now complete with a new left tackle in place. Chicago's trio of March O-line acquisitions would be sandwiched between two top-10 picks in Campbell and right tackle Darnell Wright.
While there are concerns about Campbell's arm length and whether he can play tackle in the pros, Jeremiah has Campbell slotting into that starting left tackle position for Chicago as a bookend opposite right tackle Darnell Wright.
Braxton Jones has been serviceable at left tackle since earning the starting job three years ago as a rookie, but if there's an opportunity to upgrade -- and find a potential long-term solution -- Poles shouldn't hesitate to do it.
