The Chicago Bears took care of job number one this offseason. Following trades for offensive guards Jonah Jackson and Joe Thuney, the Bears signed center Drew Dalman to overhaul the interior offensive line for new head coach Ben Johnson.
Johnson’s offensive genius worked well in Detroit behind one of the best OL units in the league. Following the additions of defensive tackle Grady Jarrett and defensive end Dayo Odeyingbo, general manager Ryan Poles has flexibility entering April’s draft to select the best player available.
Running back Ashton Jeanty would be a fun toy in the first round. After he was hired, Johnson suggested the Bears need to upgrade their backfield. While the Heisman Trophy runner-up would be an exciting option the Chicago, the 2025 draft is deep at running back.
The Bears reportedly met with a running back who had an excellent final season in college.
