The Chicago Bears need to add quality depth to the running back position. The roster currently features D'Andre Swift and Roschon Johnson. While Swift provided a nice spark last season, the Bears need to add a more consistent, but still explosive runner to the mix. The best opportunity for the Bears to acquire new talent will be during the early and middle rounds of the 2025 NFL Draft.
On Tap Sports Net's Building The Board scouts Ron Luce and Quinten Krzysko dove into the running back position here! You can tune in on Apple, Spotify, or YouTube!
The Bears will be adding at least one running back this offseason. Currently, they have a need for a main piece in the running back rotation. This year's draft class is extremely deep at the position. The Bears would be wise to take one before day three. Now, let’s explore some of their possible targets. You can find our video breakdowns, scouting reports, mock drafts, and other content on the Building The Board homepage!
Since the end of the regular season, the Building The Board team has worked hard to build a draft board for the Bears. This board accounts for scheme fit, draft preferences from previous classes, and positional needs.
Our scouts have been reviewing players available in the 2025 NFL Draft, aiming to create a final top-100 draft board for the Bears. In the latest installment of our podcast, Building The Board, we discussed our initial batch of players, including some defensive tackle prospects the Bears should consider.
We currently have just over 100 players graded, but we still need to return to the tape to close out certain position groups. Look out for future podcast episodes. Next, we will discuss wide receivers!
