The Chicago Bears wasted no time clearing out veteran players this week, setting the stage for major shake-ups in NFL free agency and the 2025 draft.

With that in mind, Athlon Sports has put together its first all-Chicago Bears mock draft of the 2025 NFL offseason with an emphasis on drafting multiple offensive linemen and building a wall in front of Williams to keep him safe. Here are the results, made using Pro Football Network's mock draft simulator.

The first NFL Draft pick from South Alabama, Everett played for USA in 2015 and 2016, joining the Jaguars when UAB dropped its football program after his single season with the Blazers in 2014. Everett is a free agent for the fourth time in his NFL career. This is the first time it has been involuntarily.

ESPN projected bold free agency and NFL draft moves for all 32 teams, including this unexpected prediction for the Chicago Bears.

The Chicago Bears have missed out on a chance to add a pair of third-round draft picks after the latest NFL hiring announcement. The post Bears Lose Out on 2 Draft Picks After Latest NFL Announcement appeared first on Heavy Sports.

The Chicago Bears entered the 2024 season with an inflated reputation, receiving absurd accolades for having the best supporting cast ever for a rookie quarterback. We called out this misconception at the time and were ultimately vindicated.

Barring a surprise return by free agent Keenan Allen or a shocking trade, or a curveball day-two draft pick, Oduzne will be firmly entrenched as the Bears WR2—and last season under Johnson, Detroit’s WR2 Jamieson Williams racked up 1,001 yards in 15 games.
