Windy City Gridiron
Chicago’s selection spot was locked in after Sunday’s Week 18 results.
With the results of Week 18 in the 2024-25 NFL regular season, the Chicago Bears will have the No. 10 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Chicago ended up breaking their 10-game losing streak on Sunday, defeating the Packers on the road 24-22 to improve their record to 5-12. The win moved the Bears down one spot from where they had been on track to pick heading into Sunday, as they traded places with the Saints.
Had the Bears lost to Green Bay, they would have had the No. 7 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. However, most of the fanbase — and certainly the players in the organization — will gladly take an upset victory over their biggest rivals over being a couple of spots higher in the draft.
Chicago will look to enhance their current young nucleus come next April. Their projected core for the future consists of players like Caleb Williams and Rome Odunze, both of whom having been first-round picks of theirs in 2024. The offensive line stands out as a clear position of need, but the defensive line could use some work, as well.
These are the selections the Bears enter the 2025 NFL playoffs with.
Picks marked with an asterisk indicate that the selection number will change once the playoffs are concluded and the compensatory picks are awarded.
