The Chicago Bears have already had an exciting offseason and the 2025 NFL Draft is still a week away. The Bears got off the a strong start, hiring former Lions OC Ben Johnson as their next head coach. Chicago also made a series of trades and free agency moves to completely rebuild their offensive line.
Chicago will enter the 2025 NFL Draft with seven selections, including the 10th overall pick.
But which players will the Bears go after during the draft?
Below we will explore who the Bears may select in the 2025 NFL Draft in our final mock draft before the big day.
Membou has become one of the leading contenders to land with the Bears.
Chicago has already invested heavily in upgrading their offensive line this offseason. However, that should not prevent them from adding a talented player like Membou.
Membou is young (21 years old) and brings plenty of upside to the table. He has almost everything that NFL scouts want from starting tackles. Membou has an impressive frame and uses it well, boasting a combination of finesse and raw power that could set him up for success in nearly any offensive scheme.
The Bears already have Braxton Jones at left tackle and former first-round pick Darnell Wright at right tackle. Personally, I would keep Wright at right tackle and transition Membou to left tackle with the Bears.
After the Membou pick, the Bears now have a completely reworked offensive line. Ben Johnson is used to having a strong o-line in Detroit, so this should put him at ease.
It is hard to argue with this pick by the Bears.
Chicago’s draft room would erupt into applause if Hampton fell into their lap in real life.
Hampton is regarded as the second-best running back in this year’s draft behind superstar Ashton Jeanty. In that respect, some NFL scouts have compared Hampton’s talent to Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs, who was the RB2 behind Bijan Robinson two years ago.
Hampton is a bruising running back who runs north and south. He is a powerful runner who can carry a heavy workload as a team’s lead back. The Bears may not ask him to do that, since they already have D’Andre Swift as a change-of-pace option.
Now that the Bears have a brand new o-line, they could punch open plenty of holes for Hampton to rumble through.
Ben Johnson would likely give Hampton all of the carries he could handle if he lands with the Bears.

The Bears probably did not intend to trade down from this premium pick.
