The Chicago Bears are entering the 2025 NFL draft with high expectations after an impressive offseason. From landing the big fish in coaching free agency with Ben Johnson to upgrading the entire interior of their offensive line, and adding significant talent to the defensive line, Chicago is poised to turn heads in 2025.

Historically speaking, the first round of the NFL Draft has had its fair share of weird decisions. How should the Bears roll if things get funky next Thursday?

College experience is most valuable for quarterbacks. Nix and Daniels proved it last year when they led their teams to the playoffs. Meanwhile, Anthony Richardson threw just 393 passes in college before the Colts drafted him No. 4 overall in 2023. He has struggled to adjust at the NFL level.
