00:00Chicago Bears 2025 NFL Mock Draft, trading up for top talent.
00:11The 2025 NFL Draft is still months away, but with the Chicago Bears on a bye week, it's
00:17the perfect time to dive into a mock draft.
00:21Harrison Graham of Chicago Bears now has put together a five-round mock draft, focusing
00:26on the team's future needs and potential trades to secure top talent.
00:31This mock draft uses the Pro Football Focus Simulator, which opens up the possibility
00:36for trades, allowing for a dynamic approach to the Bears' draft strategy.
00:42Why focus on the draft now?
00:44By this time last year, the Bears had struggled through the early weeks of the season, starting
00:490-4 and 1-5 through six games.
00:53This year, with a bye week break, it's an opportunity to look ahead and think about
00:57how the Bears can improve their roster through the draft.
01:01While the Bears have shown signs of improvement, draft preparation is always key for long-term
01:07success.
01:08If the fans want more mock drafts, especially during the offseason, Harrison encourages
01:13them to like the video or comment with their thoughts on the draft coverage.
01:18Round 1
01:19Trading up for a premier offensive lineman.
01:22The Bears' mock draft kicks off with a bold move, trading up with the New York Giants.
01:28Chicago moves from the 18th to the 11th pick, giving up their second-round pick, 50th overall,
01:34as part of the deal.
01:35They might need to throw in a late-day three-pick to sweeten the trade, but the potential payoff
01:41is significant.
01:42The target?
01:43Kelvin Banks Jr., a standout offensive lineman from Texas.
01:48Kelvin Banks Jr. is a three-year starter at left tackle for the Texas Longhorns, contributing
01:53to their rise as the top-ranked team in the nation.
01:57Banks has protected high-profile quarterbacks like Quinn Ewers and Arch Manning, allowing
02:02zero sacks this season and only one quarterback hurry.
02:06His consistency, size, and athleticism make him a valuable pick, and many scouts believe
02:12he could transition to an interior line role if needed.
02:15This versatility is crucial for the Bears, especially as they navigate uncertainties
02:21in their current offensive line setup.
02:23With Banks in the mix, Chicago secures a cornerstone player to bolster their protection for the
02:29future.
02:30Round two, bolstering the defense, with Prince Umamulan.
02:34With their second pick in the draft at 36th overall, the Bears select Prince Umamulan,
02:39a dynamic pass rusher from Ole Mississippi.
02:43Though Umamulan's draft stock fluctuates, some analysts project him as a late first
02:48rounder.
02:49He has the potential to provide immediate impact for Chicago.
02:52After transferring from Florida to Ole Miss, he's demonstrated strong performance, highlighted
02:58by a near 20% pass rush win rate.
03:01At 6'4 and 255 pounds, Umamulan brings a blend of speed and agility, making him a dangerous
03:10presence on the edge.
03:12Pairing Umamulan with Montez Sweat could create a formidable pass-rushing duo, allowing
03:17Chicago to pressure opposing quarterbacks more effectively.
03:21Umamulan would also complement other rotational players like DeMarcus Walker and potentially
03:27fill the gap if Daryl Taylor's future with the team remains uncertain.
03:31Strengthening the defensive front is a priority, and Umamulan's skill set fits the bill.
03:37Round three, building the offensive line with versatile Jonah Monheim.
03:42Back to the offensive line, the Bears select Jonah Monheim from USC with their third-round
03:48pick.
03:49While Monheim has experience at left tackle, he's currently playing center, showcasing
03:53versatility that's highly valued in the NFL.
03:57Throughout his college career, he's logged snaps at nearly every position on the line
04:02– left tackle, right tackle, center, and right guard.
04:06Monheim's ability to adapt makes him an ideal fit for the Bears, who may want flexibility
04:11in their line configurations.
04:14He could step in as a center, strengthening the interior line, but if necessary, he could
04:18shift to another role, ensuring the Bears have options.
04:22His experience with high-caliber talent like Caleb Williams at USC also speaks to his ability
04:28to perform under pressure, making him a solid addition to the Bears' roster.
04:33Day three picks, depth and upside for the future.
04:36As the draft progresses into day three, the Bears look to add depth to key positions.
04:42Round four, Howard Cross III, DT, Notre Dame.
04:46Howard Cross III is a scrappy, undersized defensive tackle who has emerged as a pass-rushing
04:52force this season with four sacks.
04:55Despite his smaller stature, Cross plays with tenacity and could be a valuable rotational
05:00piece for Chicago's defensive line, working alongside players like Zach Pickens.
05:06His work ethic and ability to disrupt plays make him a smart choice for added depth on
05:11day three.
05:13Round five, DJ Giddens, RB, Kansas State.
05:16DJ Giddens offers dynamic playmaking ability at running back, with the versatility to contribute
05:22in both the rushing and passing game.
05:25With over 1,200 yards and 10 touchdowns last season, Giddens has been a standout in the
05:31Big 12.
05:32He's also demonstrated an ability to catch passes out of the backfield, making him a
05:37dual-threat option.
05:39If Khalil Herbert leaves in free agency, Giddens could slot in alongside DeAndre Swift and
05:44Roscon Johnson to form a well-rounded backfield for the Bears.
05:49Final thoughts, a strategy for the future.
05:52This mock draft provides a vision for the Bears' future, focusing on strengthening
05:57the offensive line, bolstering the pass rush, and adding depth across the roster.
06:03With key picks like Kelvin Banks Jr. and Prince Umamulan, Chicago aims to build a more competitive
06:09squad, addressing both immediate needs and long-term potential.
06:13As always, Harrison Graham encourages fans to weigh in on the picks.
06:18Would you trade up for a premier offensive lineman like Banks?
06:22Share your thoughts in the comments, and don't forget to grade the mock draft from
06:26A to F.
06:27With this strategy, the Bears look to continue their progress and build a foundation for
06:32sustained success in the seasons to come.
