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.

The Chicago Bears have missed out on a chance to add a pair of third-round draft picks after the latest NFL hiring announcement.

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.

In Round 2, Easterling shifts focus to the defensive side, predicting that the Bears will select Ohio State edge rusher JT Tuimoloau with the 39th overall pick. With the 41st pick, Chicago strengthens its offensive line once more by drafting Oregon offensive tackle Josh Conerly Jr.

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.

In Daniel Jeremiah's latest 2025 NFL mock draft, the Bears focus on protecting Caleb Williams with their first-round pick.

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.
