The Chicago Bears will have plenty of different routes to go in the 2025 NFL Draft. Currently owning the no. 10 overall selection, I don't think anyone would be surprised if general manager Ryan Poles went one way versus another.

Chicago could (and should) choose to address either side of the trenches, depending on who is available at that spot.

Additionally, don't rule out a trade, as Poles often likes to explore.

In this recent mock draft, Poles and the Bears not only explore the trade market, but are able to acquire even more top-100 capital.

To begin with, the Bears received an offer they couldn't refuse from Arizona.

After moving back six picks in the first round, Chicago finds themselves a starting offensive tackle.

With Darnell Wright the only legitimate starter on this offensive line going into the offseason, the Bears waste no time upgrading the other tackle spot by selecting Ohio State's Josh Simmons. The 6-foot-5 Simmons sports quick feet and a frame that can move with the best of them. He's a no-doubt first round selection.

The first of the Bears' second rounders coming at no. 41 overall sees them go with the "other" Penn State edge rusher. Abdul Carter is the focal point, but Dani Dennis-Sutton is another top-tier pass rusher coming out on this Nittany Lions defense.

The Bears can pair Dennis-Sutton with Montez Sweat as they look to rebuild their defensive end depth.

The Bears' next pick would have been back-to-back, but the Seattle Seahawks offered up a package that Poles had to take.

After moving back eight spots, the Bears go back to the offensive line.

Chicago needs some starters on the interior and will likely address their line in both free agency and the draft, with one of their starting guards coming here by way of Georgia Bulldogs guard Tate Ratledge. Ratledge plays strong, he plays low and he can handle those heavy-hitting bull rushers.

With their final pick in the second round, the Bears go back to the Buckeyes and snag yet another Big Ten pass rusher in J.T. Tuimoloau. The 6-foot-5 Tuimoloau has strong, active hands that he uses to disrupt quarterbacks' passes at the line of scrimmage and also allow him to handle the bigger tackles in pass rush situations.

For the third time, the Bears go Ohio State once again. It's just how the dominoes fell, but Bears fans can't be complaining. Chicago gets the Buckeye's stud running back, Quinshon Judkins, with the first of their two third rounders here.

Judkins now has the potential to come in and supplant D'Andre Swift (if he's still on the roster) as the no. 1 back.

The Bears being able to draft the Iowa State wide receiver in the third round looks like a steal. And, with Keenan Allen potentially not returning, his spot is taken right up by the rookie Higgins, here. For an offense that can truly lean on receiver production, Higgins is one more weapon at Caleb Williams' disposal.
