Here’s an attempt to get inside the heads at Halas Hall

The Chicago Bears like Ashton Jeanty... and Will Campbell... and Mykel Williams... and Tyler Warren... and... The information on the Chicago Bears has been all over the place when it comes to the 2025 NFL Draft. The Bears want to trade up. The Bears want to trade down.

We’ve heard it all. For that, we need to tip our cap to Halas Hall. Either they have done a wonderful job gassing up the media with all sorts of misleads, or they’ve been so quiet that the media is guessing....

Everything you need to know to watch the 2025 NFL Draft.

Here’s all the information you’ll need to watch the 2025 NFL Draft, otherwise known as the 90th Annual National Football League Player Selection Meeting.

Remember that we’ll have in-depth coverage of all the Chicago Bears picks here at WCG, as well as on our 2nd City Gridiron podcast channel and video channel.

Speaking of our podcast channels, we’ll have our lead draft analyst, Jacob Infante, on for a reaction show breaking down every pick on YouTube, with the audio published on our podcast feed shortly after each video is...

Taylor Doll talks with Zach Seyko, who covers Penn State football for Locked On Nittany Lions.

On her latest Making Monsters, Taylor Doll is joined by Zach Seyko, who covers Penn State football for Locked On Nittany Lions. Tight end Tyler Warren has been mocked to the Chicago Bears a lot, so they talk about his fit in Ben Johnson’s offense. They also discuss some defensive players, including Abdul Carter and safety Kevin Winston Jr., as well as linebacker Kobe King, and their chances of fitting into the new Dennis Allen defense.

But it’s Warren who Bears fans are intrigued...

In his final mock draft of the 2025 NFL Draft season, Aaron Leming takes his best swing at projecting what the Chicago Bears could do this weekend.

The 2025 NFL Draft week is finally here, and all 32 teams around the league will look to put the last big impactful touch on their roster before a long three-month layoff before the start of training camp. It’s been a busy offseason for the Chicago Bears from the start. After embarking on almost a month-long journey to replace Matt Eberflus, the roster transformation process has been in full swing since a week...

The 2025 SB Nation Writers’ Mock Draft is going two rounds this year, so in case you missed what I've done for the Chicago Bears so far, here’s what I did.

While everyone tried to trade back in the first round, I was the first mock GM to make a deal. I sent the tenth overall pick to the Broncos for their 2025 first-rounder (20th overall), their 2025 second-round pick (51st), and a 2026 fifth-round pick, and then I selected Ohio State left tackle Josh Simmons at 20. Denver “won” the trade by a few Jimmy Johnson trade points, while...

The Mac and Read Show is a Chicago-centric show about sports with a side of pop culture, current events, and so much more.

We’re excited to announce that we’re growing the lineup at our 2nd City Gridiron channels with the addition of the Mac & Read show featuring Evan McLean and Ross Read!

I was first introduced to Evan and Ross about ten years ago when they booked me for a segment on their radio show to discuss the Chicago Bears, and thanks to the wonderful world of social media, we've stayed in touch ever since.

When we heard the...

WCG’s lead draft analyst spoke with the Hall of Fame safety leading up to the NFL Draft.

Pro Football Hall of Famer Brian Dawkins made a career out of staying ready before the competition. Now, he’s carrying that same vigorous preparation to a cause near and dear to his heart.

The nine-time Pro Bowl safety plays a key role in spreading awareness for Boehringer & Lilly’s It Takes 2 health initiative, urging Americans to test for kidney disease, getting out ahead of any potential issues before they arise.

Dawkins has been raising awareness for chronic kidney disease (CKD) for the...

Here’s how the Bears draft could play out if they move back

The 2025 NFL Draft is just a few days a way and the Chicago Bears are in great shape to add a few impact players to their roster this year. Oddly enough, it might be easier to find those impact players in round 2 than it will be in round 1.

I believe the Chicago Bears will highly consider any opportunities to trade back in this draft, but will those opportunities come? They may not, but if they do, it could open up the Bears to add another...

Buckle up, Chicago Bears fans. Thursday night could get weirder than you think.

Without a plethora of great QBs atop the draft and a limited number of true blue-chip players, everything from about pick No. 6 to the Bears’ pick at No. 10 could be completely chaotic.

What’s going to happen with Ashton Jeanty and Tyler Warren? Could Will Campbell or Mason Graham fall to No. 10? Should the Bears go offense or defense?

While taking a stab at those questions in his latest pre-draft analysis, The Athletic’s Adam Jahns made an interesting observation that could shape the way Chicago...

The award, named after the late running back, goes to one veteran and one rookie.

On Tuesday, the Chicago Bears announced the winners of the annual Brian Piccolo Awards.

The awards go to one rookie and one veteran who “exemplifies the courage, loyalty, teamwork, dedication and sense of humor of the late Bears running back.”

This year’s veteran winner is linebacker T.J. Edwards. Edwards was rewarded with a two-year contract extension last week. Being added to the Piccolo Award list is another example of what he means to his teammates and the organization. This is the second consecutive Piccolo award...

Teams are ultimately fairly efficient in finding talent in the NFL draft, but gems slip through the cracks. How much effort does it take to find them?

Recap

When this project started roughly three years ago, it began as a simple investigation into the idea of “how many starters should a team find in a year?” in the NFL Draft. The answer to that question, of course, depended on how a starter was defined. Like many things, the answer was usually manipulated by the person who wanted to prove a particular point. On a very basic level, though, if...
