The Bears could reportedly pivot to Loveland if Tyler Warren goes before No. 10.

Tyler Warren might not be the only tight end option the Chicago Bears could pursue in the first round of next week’s NFL draft.

The Ringer’s NFL insider Todd McShay hinted during his latest podcast episode that the Bears could have another versatile pass-catcher in mind in case the coveted Penn State product is gone by the time Chicago picks at No. 10 overall: Michigan’s Colston Loveland.

(Interestingly, Loveland was discussed as an option at No. 10 on our Bear Bones war room episode on Thursday...

Over 1500 players were taken in the last four rounds of the draft from 2011-2020. What happened to them, and how often did GMs “hit” on those picks?

The NFL Draft concludes with four rounds that will constitute just over 1500 selections over the ten years being studied. Only around 10% of these picks (153 total) will become regular starters over their first five years. Under one-quarter of them (23%) will be reliable contributors in the league. A very small handful of these players will be stars (38 in total). Roughly equal numbers will be out of the league in...

Having taught writing for longer than Ashton Jeanty has been alive, one football blogger has thoughts on the college standout’s “Letter to GMs.”

Since 1998, I have been a writing teacher. I do not know how many essays written by college students I have read, but the number has at least five digits before the decimal place in it, I’m sure. I’ve read at least two thousand personal narrative essays by students writing about their challenges and how they’ve overcome them. It’s a popular style, widely used in high schools and early college assignments. As a result, reading Ashton Jeanty’s...

Taylor Doll spoke with

In her latest Making Monsters podcast, Taylor Doll is joined by Dan Hope, who covers Ohio State football for Eleven Warriors, and they chat about several Ohio State Buckeyes who may be drafted this year. Most Chicago Bears mock drafts have at least one Buckeye going at some point, so she learn a little more about offensive linemen Josh Simmons and Donovan Jackson, defensive linemen Tyleik Williams and JT Tuimoloau, running backs Quinshon Judkins and TreVeyon Henderson, and so many more.

If the Bears don't go running back at ten overall, I think Henderson would be...

Rollins and White will be in attendance in Green Bay next week.

One week out from the NFL Draft in Green Bay, Wisconsin, it’s still anyone’s guess as to who the Chicago Bears will be taking with their picks.

We do, however, know two of the special names who will be in attendance to announce some of those picks: former Bears WR Dez White and WWE superstar Seth Rollins.

White played for the Bears from 2000 until 2003. Selected by the Bears in the third round of the 2000 NFL Draft (#69 overall), White had 1,754 yards receiving from the...

The 2025 NFL Draft is eight days away. With the Chicago Bears slated to be on the clock with the 10th overall pick in next Thursday draft, we’ll highlight five offensive names for fans to keep an eye on.

April is flying by, which means we’re inching closer to the kickoff of the 2025 NFL Draft in Green Bay. This class’s lack of top-end talent and overall first-round talent has created plenty of entertaining conversation. In the end, clarity will be provided soon, and fans should expect multiple surprises early in Round 1.

So, where does that leave the Bears?...

Looking at 2500 players drafted over the first ten years of the rookie salary scale and modern collective barganing agreement, this project studies what actually happens in terms of finding stars, starters, and role-players in the NFL Draft.

This series is exploring what happens in the NFL Draft using the first ten years of results from the modern CBA. The first part of the series gave an overview and covered the first round. This part will explore the next two rounds.

Day Two

The first day of the NFL sees one-third of all of the starters found in the...

Everyone keeps talking about offense, but defense should be the pick at 10.

It’s our final look in our “The Case for” series, and this time, we are talking defense in general. This article isn’t about the Bears adding a specific defensive player, just that ignoring this side of the ball when there’s a good chance that the best player available (BPA) is going to be on the defensive side of the ball.

I get it, the Bears need a lot of help on offense. They need a 3-down running back. They don’t have one. They need more help at...

WCG’s lead draft analyst shares his favorite prospects on defense in the 2025 NFL Draft.

With the 2025 NFL Draft right around the corner, now is as good of a time as any to stand your ground and claim which prospects you’ll go to bat for.

I’ve finished my preparations for this year’s draft, a group in which I’ve watched a personal-best 480 players for my big board, which is available in full on my Patreon! Cheap plug aside, this is a class I think gets too much flak.

It’s hardly the flashiest class, but if you’re a believer that...

Last week, The Athletic’s Dane Brugler dropped his mammoth NFL Draft guide, “The Beast,” and yesterday they published his full seven-round mock where he made every pick while focusing on each team’s needs, league-wide draft trends, and fits for all 32 organizations.

Here’s how he mocked it for the Chicago Bears.

10. Chicago Bears: Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State

This is a pairing that grew on me the more and more I considered it. Ben Johnson runs a decent amount of “12” personnel, which would get both Warren and Cole Kmet on the field (Kmet also has...
