Jacob Infante’s final 2025 Bears mock draft

WCG’s lead draft analyst shares his final Bears mock draft for the 2025 class.

The wait is finally over: the 2025 NFL Draft starts today.

Draft Day will bring an end to the endless months of speculation, rumors and predictions made by everyone under the sun, from draft experts to talking heads to the typical fan in La Grange, Illinois.

Naturally, we had to squeeze in one last mock draft for the Bears before the draft actually kicks off.

For my final mock draft, I will be operating under the assumption that the Bears stay put with all of their...

(un)Conventional Wisdom: Why Ashton Jeanty is the Right Pick for Chicago at 10

(un)Conventional Wisdom: Why Ashton Jeanty is the Right Pick for Chicago at 10

Despite evidence both historically and within this specific draft class pointing to the opposite, Ashton Jeanty should be Chicago’s choice if he is available when they pick.

*Due to the smokescreens and hoopla surrounding us this week, I feel the need to preface this article with a bit of a disclaimer. I am NOT a fan of trading up in this draft and would still prefer a trade down. Additionally, if Will Campbell or Mason Graham are available when the Bears pick at 1.10, those are the only two players I would consider over Ashton Jeanty, assuming Abdul Carter is...

Lester’s work here is done.

We’re going a full two rounds in our 2025 SB Nation Writers’ Mock Draft this year, and I just made my final pick for the Chicago Bears. In case you missed it, I traded back in the first, dropping down to 20 with the Broncos for their 2025 first-rounder (20th overall), their 2025 second-round pick (51st), and a 2026 fifth-round pick.

Here’s what I did with my first three picks.

20 - Josh Simmons, LT, Ohio State

39 - Nic Scourton, DE, Texas A&M

41 - Alfred Collins, DT, Texas

Northwest Missouri State cornerback Austin McKinney has all the tools needed to play at the NFL level.

Offering high-end speed, size and length for his position, McKinney hopes to parlay a strong collegiate career and a sneaky good pre-draft process into an opportunity playing pro ball at the highest level.

Windy City Gridiron spoke with McKinney about earning an invitation to the Tropical Bowl after a strong FCS Bowl outing, his athleticism for his size, his approach to physical fitness and...

Chicago Bears Hall of Famer Steve McMichael dies at 67

Legendary Chicago Bears Steve McMichael, who entered hospice care this morning, has passed away after a long battle with ALS. He was 67 years old.

Mongo was diagnosed with ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, in 2021, and he fought long enough to experience being honored as a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Class of 2024. Mongo was previously nominated in 2014 and 2015, but as pundits began to understand the impact of a disruptive defensive tackle, his case for the Hall grew stronger.

McMichael played in the NFL from 1980 through 1994,...

Could the Bears trade up from No. 10 in the NFL Draft?

Could the Bears trade up from No. 10 in the NFL Draft?

The NFL Draft rumors are flying today!

With almost 24 hours left until the 2025 NFL Draft, the rumors continue to fly about what the Chicago Bears and other teams will do.

Draft Ashton Jeanty? Take Tyler Warren? Trade down?

All of it is on the table.

According to one New York Giants insider, “all of it” includes potentially moving up.

The New York Daily News’ Pat Leonard reported getting a text from a “league source” saying the Bears are looking to trade for a higher pick rather than standing pat at No. 10 (pun intended).

Meanwhile, Leonard added six...

Bill Zimmerman tries to make sense of the top ten to figure out the Bears selection

A special NFL Draft Bears Banter is out!

There has been plenty of discussion about what the Chicago Bears will do with the 10th pick. That, of course, will also depend on what the nine teams do in front of them.

Would the Bears trade up? Would they trade down?

Do they like Ashton Jeanty? Is it Will Campbell? What about Kelvin Banks?

The Bears have done a great job masking their intentions to this point. Bill Zimmerman tries to make sense of the...

2025 NFL Draft interview: William & Mary DB Marcus Barnes

WCG’s lead draft analyst speaks with William & Mary’s toolsy defensive back.

William & Mary has a likely early draft pick for the 2025 NFL Draft in offensive lineman Charles Grant, but defensive back Marcus Barnes is another name you certainly need to know.

An All-CAA defender with elite production, impressive athleticism and an NFL bloodline, Barnes checks a lot of the boxes that NFL teams like out of their safety prospects.

Windy City Gridiron spoke with Barnes about the advantages of his length and speed, growing up with an NFL father, his experiences in college, and more.
