The 2024-25 Bears season has turned on a dime.

It’s December and instead of looking at where the Bears fit in the NFC playoff picture, we’re instead discussing where the team lands in the 2025 NFL Draft order.

That’s what a 7-game losing streak will do.

As it stands after play concludes in Week 14, the Bears have a pretty firm hold on a Top 10 draft selection next spring (h/t Tankathon.com):

1. Las Vegas Raiders (2-11)
2. New York Giants (2-11)
3. New England Patriots (3-10)
4. Carolina Panthers (3-10)
5. Jacksonville Jaguars (3-10)
6. Tennessee Titans (3-10)
7. New York Jets (3-10)
8. Cleveland Browns (3-10)
9. Chicago Bears (4-9)
10. New Orleans Saints (5-8)
11. Cincinnati Bengals (5-8)
12. Dallas Cowboys (5-8)

The Miami Dolphins, Indianapolis Colts, Atlanta Falcons, Arizona Cardinals and San Francisco 49ers are all currently 6-7 and 2 games “behind” the Bears in the Draft order standings.

It’s very possible the Bears end up winless the rest of the season as they have 4 remaining games against playoff contending teams: Vikings, Lions, Seahawks, Packers.

So we could see the Bears potentially move up higher on this list and secure a better draft position.

Tiebreakers for draft order are: strength of schedule, division tiebreakers, conference tiebreakers and interconference tiebreakers.

By virtue of playing in the best division in football this season, the Bears have competed against a strong schedule of opponents this season.
