Since the end of the 20234 NFL season, the Building the Board team has worked hard to build a draft board for the Chicago Bears. This board accounts for scheme fit, front-office draft preferences, and positional needs. We've graded 187 players and have made manual adjustments to lock in the final top 100 players for the Bears in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Listen to the podcast for more details on why we ranked prospects where we did on the board. You can tune in on Apple, Spotify, or YouTube. Make sure to check out our interactive Chicago Bears Draft Guide, which will continue to be updated until draft day as we release new videos and scouting reports!
For those who have followed the project from start to finish, we're forever grateful for your viewership, listenership, and attention. Hundreds of hours (quite literally) have gone into this project, and the scouting team is extremely excited to put out the final product. Make sure to follow the scouts and keep up with their individual work.
Before we get to the big board, a few things should be mentioned. First, our big board does not include any quarterbacks because the Bears are very unlikely to select a quarterback. Second, this board might look a little bit different than what you're used to seeing around the internet. Fitting the draft board specific to a single team generates different-looking results, as all prospects aren't one-size-fits-all. It led to some awkward situations regarding the top EDGE rushers in the class, many of whom just do not fit what Dennis Allen has historically sought out.
Third, our scouting reports are linked to the majority of the players' names. Just click the player's name, and you'll be redirected to a report detailing the player's background, strengths, weaknesses, final thoughts, and a video breakdown. The board is presented in tiers, with each tier representing a different draft position for the Bears.
