The Bears had one of the worst offensive lines in 2024, allowing a league-high 68 sacks on quarterback Caleb Williams. Outside of right tackle Darnell Wright, there are multiple starting jobs to be filled through free agency and the 2025 NFL draft.

The Chicago Bears have made only one significant NFL Draft investment in the offensive line since general manager Ryan Poles was hired in 2022, selecting Darnell Wright in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft.

The Chicago Bears’ biggest weakness is hands down the offensive line. Undoubtedly, the Bears will look to free agency and the draft to upgrade at guard and center this off-season.

Membou (6-3, 332) has a bit of an awkward build for a tackle, but his 34-inch arms and 81-inch wingspan more than make up for it. The 20-year-old was a three-year starter at Missouri and made a gigantic leap from his sophomore to junior year, most notably as a run blocker. Be it as a tackle or guard, Membou is still not close to his ceiling.

Despite the negative narrative around the Chicago Bears offensive line, analytics powerhouse Pro Football Focus didn't rank them at the bottom of the NFL.
