(670 The Score) The Bears have landed the No. 10 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
After entering Sunday in line for the No. 9 overall pick, Chicago slotted into No. 10 by virtue of its 24-22 win against the rival Packers and the Saints’ 27-19 loss to the Buccaneers. The Jets, Panthers, Saints and Bears all finished with 5-12 records, but the strength of schedules of New York, Carolina and New Orleans were weaker than Chicago’s, thus giving them the higher draft slots, according to Tankathon.com.
After the Bears took quarterback Caleb Williams at No. 1 overall and receiver Rome Odunze at No. 9 overall in 2024, the expectation is that they’ll will use their best draft capital to address their underwhelming offensive and defensive lines. Williams was sacked a league-high 68 times in the 2024 season, which also tied for the third-most sacks taken by any quarterback in NFL history.
