Chicago Bears Draft Tracker: 2025 Picks Update & Next Selections Predicted

In 2024, The Bears experienced significant challenges during the year, watching their initial hopes fade into despair midway through the season as the No. 1 draft choice from 2024, Caleb Williams, struggled through a disappointing first professional campaign.

Williams, heralded by many as Chicago's savior, had an uneven first year in the pros. On one hand, he was fairly careful with the ball, tallying just six interceptions while collecting more than 3,500 yards and 20 touchdowns.

Nevertheless, the performances of the USC alumnus frequently fell short of expectations. This did not go unnoticed by the Bears’ management, who also decided to part ways with both his offensive coordinator (Shane Waldron) and his head coach (Matt Eberflus), as Chicago’s offense plummeted.

This led to a disappointing season for the Monsters of the Midway, as they struggled to a 5-12 record, which was the poorest in the NFC North.

Hope continues to flourish at Soldier Field as Ben Johnson takes up the role of head coach, instilling confidence in Chicago Bears fans that brighter times lie ahead.

However, those days must begin promptly. Time is of the essence, particularly within a division as cutthroat as the NFC North.

The reinforcements for the team are coming through the 2025 NFL Draft, but who exactly will join the roster in Chicago? The Sporting News has all the details.

Bears NFL Draft needs

• Offensive tackle: Last year, Williams came close to setting an NFL record for the most sacks allowed in one season. Although he needs to enhance his pocket presence and timing heading into 2025, it would be wise for the Bears to find a dominant force along the defensive line to help reduce his pressure.
• Running back: The Overton window keeps moving concerning the role of running backs. Not too long ago, it was fashionable to downplay their significance. However, recent standout performances from players like Saquon Barkley, Derrick Henry, and Jahmyr Gibbs highlight that this position remains crucial. Johnson experienced firsthand how potent a strong rushing attack can be when he played for Detroit. Might he attempt to build something comparable with the Bears in Chicago?
• EDGE: In 2024, Chicago's defense had difficulty limiting opposing teams' passing game, allowing the sixth-highest number of passing yards and tenth-most touchdown passes. A key factor behind this was the absence of an outstanding pass rusher. Among the defensive players, Montez Sweat topped the team with only 5.5 sacks for the season. Given the current abundance of elite sack artists, this tally falls short.
