With the 2025 NFL Draft just around the corner, the Chicago Bears have four picks in the Top 75 and are in a great position to add to their roster for the upcoming season. Football analysts across North America, including those who follow the trends of online betting in Hungary with GGBet, have been watching Chicago’s potential picks and how they could impact NFC North odds next season. ESPN’s Field Yates and Mel Kiper Jr. have released their three-peat and have three-round mock draft and it’s interesting to see what the Bears will do.
After an offseason of addressing their biggest needs, especially in the trenches, the Bears are in a position of flexibility – they can take the best available player rather than drafting for need. This could be huge for Chicago as they look to build on their progress and take the next step under new head coach Ben Johnson.
Round 1, Pick 10: Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State
Johnson’s offense is known for its creativity and multiple tight end sets, and he would love to add Tyler Warren to complement Cole Kmet. At 6-6, Warren is the modern tight end prototype – a versatile chess piece who can line up anywhere on the field and create matchup problems for opposing defenses.
Warren’s big catch radius and ability to secure contested catches would give quarterback Caleb Williams another reliable target, especially in crunch time. Chicago signed Durham Smythe in free agency, but his role seems to be blocking only. A Kmet-Warren duo could make the Bears’ passing attack one of the most dynamic in the league and give Williams multiple safety valves over the middle of the field.
It makes even more sense since other potential targets like defensive tackle Mason Graham, offensive linemen Will Campbell and Armand Membou and running back Ashton Jeanty were already off the board in ESPN’s mock.
Round 2, Pick 39: TreVeyon Henderson, RB, Ohio State
Chicago continues their offense overhaul in the second round with Ohio State running back TreVeyon Henderson. They missed out on Ashton Jeanty in the first round so they went with Henderson who brings playmaking ability to the backfield. Henderson’s 7.1 yards per carry last season shows his big play potential and his receiving skills make him a dual threat in Johnson’s offense. Henderson is the Bears’ plan to do what Johnson did in Detroit with Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery. They already have D’Andre Swift under contract for two more years but Henderson has insurance and potential for an even more explosive backfield. This could be a one-two punch or make Swift trade bait.
Henderson’s speed and vision would pair well with Williams’ passing and make the offense more balanced and keep defenses guessing every down.
Round 2, Pick 41: Nic Scourton, EDGE, Texas A&M
After two offense-heavy picks, the Bears went defense with edge rusher Nic Scourton from Texas A&M. Despite adding defensive tackle Grady Jarrett and defensive end Dayo Odeyingbo in free agency, Chicago recognizes the value of a deep pass-rushing rotation.
Scourton is the youngest edge rusher in this draft class and had 15 sacks over the last two seasons and shows power and technique. He can set the edge against the run and has pass-rushing upside. He’s the perfect complement to Montez Sweat on the other side.
New defensive coordinator Dennis Allen would love Scourton’s disruption and has a young, moldable talent to develop with the established veterans. This is the NFL philosophy that you can never have too many pass rushers.
Round 3, Pick 72: Aireontae Ersery, OT, Minnesota
With their final pick in this three-round mock, the Bears address the tackle position by selecting Aireontae Ersery from Minnesota. 6’6” with 39 career starts in college, Ersery brings experience and power to an offensive line that’s seen a lot of change.
Chicago addressed the interior of the offensive line in free agency with guards Joe Thuney and Jonah Jackson and center Drew Dalman. But the tackle position is still a question mark. Left tackle Braxton Jones is coming off an ankle injury and entering a contract year without having established himself as the long-term answer.
Ersery can compete for playing time immediately and possibly challenge Jones and second-year tackle Kiran Amegadjie for the starting job. At minimum, he’s at a position where injuries happen often.
The Bears’ approach in this mock draft shows they intend to surround Williams with playmakers and address key positions on both sides of the trenches. With Warren, Henderson, Scourton and Ersery, they’d be serious NFC North contenders for years to come.
As the actual draft approaches, Bears fans and NFL observers will be watching to see if General Manager Ryan Poles follows this blueprint or goes a completely different direction with these valuable draft assets that will define the future of the franchise.
