In just a few hours’ time, NFL mock drafts will be no more for the 2025 class. It’s time for the real thing Thursday night, and analysts still are split on what Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Poles and coach Ben Johnson will do when their No. 10 overall pick comes around.

Many remain wary that front-runners such as Ashton Jeanty and Will Campbell will be available by the time the Bears are on the clock, instead seeing them bolster the tight end room or the defensive line.

Here’s what experts are saying how Bears will use the No. 10 pick.

Dane Brugler, The Athletic

TE Tyler Warren, Penn State

Analysis: “A defensive lineman (Mykel Williams?) could be in play here. With Warren available in this mock, though, that is the direction I’m leaning. The Penn State product would upgrade Chicago’s tight end position and help unlock Ben Johnson’s offense.”

Todd McShay, The Ringer

DL Mason Graham, Michigan

Analysis: “For a minute, it looked like Jeanty would fall into the Bears’ lap. But unless they trade up to get him, they’ll need to go in a different direction. I love the concept of pairing a young pass-catching weapon with tight end Cole Kmet, especially since Chicago would have its choice between Warren and Colston Loveland in this scenario. But I’m hearing it would come down to Graham or Shemar Stewart here. New defensive coordinator Dennis Allen would love Graham’s active, disruptive style in his scheme. Ohio State running back TreVeyon Henderson, LSU tight end Mason Taylor, Miami tight end Elijah Arroyo, and Oregon offensive tackle Josh Conerly Jr. would be in play at picks 39 and 41.”

TE Tyler Warren, Penn State

Analysis: “After the Bears acquired three starting offensive linemen in free agency, their draft board opened up. They could go back to the OL well and keep adding. They could draft a pass rusher. Or they could take the best player available. This pick would fall into the final category, as Warren is my seventh-ranked prospect. People I’ve spoken to around the NFL are already imagining the creative offensive wrinkles that new coach Ben Johnson could think up for Warren, who is terrific with the football in his hands.”

Peter Schrager, ESPN

TRADE: Bears trade down, acquire Nos. 14 and 80 overall from the Indianapolis Colts.

OT Kelvin Banks Jr., Texas

Analysis: “Banks could end up going before (Armand) Membou as the top tackle in this class. He has the better tape and is more consistent. If the Bears trade back and still get him, that’s a major win.”

Daniel Jeremiah, NFL.com

TE Tyler Warren, Penn State

Analysis: “With the top offensive linemen and Jeanty off the board, Warren becomes a very attractive piece for Ben Johnson’s offense. The Bears will be living in 12 personnel with Warren, Cole Kmet, DJ Moore and Rome Odunze on the field. That’s a group to be excited about.”

Lance Zierlein, NFL.com

RB Omarion Hampton, North Carolina

Analysis: “Chicago would love to land Jeanty, but the Bears have to settle for Hampton, who offers explosiveness and physicality in the backfield.”

Bucky Brooks, NFL.com

OT Kelvin Banks Jr., Texas

Analysis: “New head coach Ben Johnson’s experience with a dominant line while running the offense for division-rival Detroit could prompt him to add more resources to the Bears’ front, even after it was fortified in free agency. Banks is a natural left tackle with the athleticism and shadowboxing skills to protect Caleb Williams’ blind side.”

Charles Davis, NFL.com

EDGE Mykel Williams, Georgia

Analysis: “Size, speed, explosiveness — Williams has the traits teams are looking for in an edge rusher. The Bears’ Montez Sweat welcomes the help.”

Albert Breer, SI.com

TE Tyler Warren, Penn State

Analysis: “If Jeanty is there, I like the fit. If Banks is there, I think Chicago goes in that direction. But in this scenario, the value with Warren is too great. And Ben Johnson’s experience using guys as gadget weapons should be perfect for the Penn State star, who is less refined than Michigan’s Colston Loveland, but an absolute Swiss Army knife who can cut an opponent a ton of different ways.”

Jonathan Jones, CBSSports.com

TE Tyler Warren, Penn State

Analysis: “Chicago has to worry that New Orleans could get Warren here (or trade back and let someone else get him), but the sit patiently and get the tight end. The Bears already have Cole Kmet, but a move like this isn’t unprecedented. The Eagles drafted Dallas Goedert after Zach Ertz’s fifth season in the league to ensure they had the position locked down for a decade-plus.”

Pete Prisco, CBSSports.com

TE Colston Loveland, Michigan

Analysis: “The Bears haven’t had a great pass-catching tight end for a bit. Loveland is the better of the top two tight ends in terms of pass-catching ability. Ben Johnson will love having him to team up with Cole Kmet.”

Charles McDonald, Yahoo! Sports

OT Kelvin Banks Jr., Texas

Analysis: “The Bears have revamped their interior offensive line, but still have a hole at left tackle across from Darnell Wright, who is one of the better offensive tackles in the league. Enter Banks, who should be given a chance to play left tackle but can play guard as well if one of Chicago’s guard investments doesn’t work this year.”

Connor Rodgers, NBCSports.com

RB Ashton Jeanty, Boise State

Analysis: “Jeanty is simply one of the best players in this draft and a one man game wrecker for any offense. This allows Ben Johnson to develop a strong run game in Chicago, making life easier for quarterback Caleb Williams.”

Trevor Sikkema, Pro Football Focus

TE Colston Loveland, Michigan

Analysis: “The Bears would love for Jeanty or Warren to fall to them, and they could also be eyeing one of the top three tackles, all of whom are already off the board in this scenario. That likely puts Chicago in best-player-available mode. If Loveland’s medicals check out, there’s every reason to believe he’ll be in play here.”

Michael Middlehurst-Schwartz, USA TODAY

OT Kelvin Banks Jr., Texas

Analysis: “With Jeanty and Warren off the board, general manager Ryan Poles can train his focus on the trenches. Banks would allow the Bears not to pin the hopes of their rebuilt offensive line on left tackle Braxton Jones, who is still recovering from a fractured left ankle suffered in December.”
