The Bears missed out on some top running backs early in the NFL draft, but they circled back around in the seventh round to land Kyle Monangai out of Rutgers. He'll contend with D'Andre Swift and Roschon Johnson for carries, but that also boots Ian Wheeler out of a roster spot. Travis Homer gets the nod on special teams.

The Chicago Bears entered the 2025 NFL Draft with something they hadn’t possessed in a long time—momentum. For a fanbase that’s seen far too many false dawns, the arrival of Caleb Williams was reason to believe this time might actually be different.

What can't be lost in the celebration of the Chicago Bears' 2025 NFL Draft is the back-to-back draft classes that they've stacked together. Poles added Caleb Williams and Rome Odunze in 2024, which, when combined with Loveland and Burden, gives Chicago one of the most exciting young offensive cores in the entire NFL.
