00:00The Chicago Bears have a critical decision to make with who to take in the draft.
00:04With the 10th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, General Manager Ryan Poles is under
00:11pressure to get this one right. And let's be honest, Bears fans, it's time to turn this team
00:16around. We're talking about a team that went 5-12 last season. A record no one is proud of.
00:23But this pick? This could be the turning point. The Bears were ranked one of the worst offenses
00:29in the league last season. Yes, there was a bright spot with Caleb Williams setting
00:34rookie records, but let's not sugarcoat it. The offensive line was a disaster. The Bears gave up
00:40a league-high 68 sacks. Think about that. 68 times Williams hit the ground, and it's a miracle he
00:48came out of the season in one piece. If Chicago wants to flip their record from 5-12 to something
00:54like 12-5, they need to protect their franchise quarterback, period. So what's the plan? All
01:02signs point to bolstering the offensive line. Two names are at the top of the board. LSU's Will
01:07Campbell and Texas Longhorns' Kelvin Banks Jr. These two players are generating all the buzz,
01:12and for good reason. Let's break them down. First up, Will Campbell. This guy is a beast.
01:19Scouts are calling him one of the most polished offensive linemen in the draft. He's got it all.
01:24Balance, leverage, and strength. He's the kind of player who's going to win battles in the trenches.
01:29His ability to handle combo blocks and drive defenders off the line of scrimmage is top tier.
01:34And let's not overlook his leadership skills. The guy's an All-Sec and All-American for a reason.
01:40But he's not perfect. His arm length isn't ideal, and he's had some issues with edge rushers using
01:45speed moves to get around him. Still, he's a plug-and-play guy who could start week one.
01:51Then there's Kelvin Banks Jr. He's another great option. Banks has smooth footwork and refined
01:57hand placement. He's excellent in pass protection and has the agility to pull on running plays.
02:02He's the kind of lineman who can get out in space and make blocks on the second level.
02:06But like Campbell, he's not without flaws. His base can get a little wide, and he sometimes
02:11struggles to keep defenders locked up on blocks. That said, his potential is undeniable.
02:17Now the big question, who should the Bears take? It's not an easy decision, but let's look at the
02:22bigger picture. Caleb Williams needs help, and he needs it now. This offensive line isn't going to
02:27fix itself. Adding either Campbell or Banks would be a huge upgrade. But if I had to pick, I'd lean
02:33toward Campbell. His polish and leadership make him the safer choice. He's ready to step in and
02:38make an impact right away. But wait, there's more to consider. The Bears don't just have needs on
02:44the offensive side of the ball. The defense has its own issues. This team struggled to stop the
02:49run and generate pressure on opposing quarterbacks. Do the Bears consider going defense with this
02:54pick? There's some intriguing options on that side of the ball as well. Players like Alabama's
02:59Dallas Turner or Georgia's Michael Williams could be game changers for the defensive line.
03:05Still, the offensive line feels like the priority here. Caleb Williams is the future of this
03:10franchise. He proved that last season, throwing for 20 touchdowns and setting a rookie record
03:15with 3,541 passing yards. Imagine what he could do with better protection. Imagine what this offense
03:22could look like if Williams had time to throw. That's the dream, isn't it? To see this team
03:27finally reach its potential. Now, let's talk about the bigger picture. The Bears have more
03:33than just the 10th pick. They've got two more selections in the top 50. That's a lot of draft
03:38capital. It's an opportunity to address multiple needs. Maybe they grab an offensive lineman at 10
03:44and then look at defense with their later picks. Or maybe they double down on offense.
03:49It all depends on how the board falls on draft day. The good news is that Ryan Poles has options.
03:56He's got the resources to make big moves. And let's not forget about free agency. The Bears
04:02have the sixth most cap space in the league. That's another avenue to improve this roster.
04:07Poles can use free agency to fill some holes and then use the draft to build for the future.
04:13But here's the thing. The draft is where you build your foundation. Free agency is great,
04:19but it's not a long-term solution. If the Bears want sustained success, they need to hit on their
04:23draft picks. That starts with the 10th overall pick. This is where franchises are built. This
04:29is where the Bears can take a step toward becoming a contender. And let's not overlook
04:36the importance of coaching. Matt Iberflues and his staff have a big role to play in this. It's
04:41not just about bringing in talent. It's about developing that talent. It's about putting
04:46players in positions to succeed. The Bears have a young quarterback with superstar potential.
04:52They've got some pieces to build around. Now it's up to the front office and coaching staff
04:57to put it all together. Bears fans, this is an exciting time. The draft is always full of
05:03possibilities. It's a chance to dream about the future. And for a team like the Bears,
05:07the future starts now. The decisions made this offseason will shape this team for years to come.
05:13Will they get it right? Only time will tell. But one thing's for sure. The stakes couldn't be higher.
05:20So let's recap. The Bears have the 10th pick in the draft. They've got two great options on the
05:24offensive line in Will Campbell and Kelvin Banks Jr. They've got needs on defense too. And they've
05:30got a young quarterback who's ready to take the next step. This draft is a golden opportunity to
05:35set the foundation for a brighter future. Now it's up to Ryan Poles and the Bears front office
05:41to make it happen. Bears fans, what do you think? Who should the team take with the 10th pick?
05:47Should they go offense or defense? And what do you think about the state of the team heading into the
05:53draft? Let me know in the comments below. This is your team and your voice matters.
05:59Thanks for tuning in and as always, Bear Down!
