The 2025 NFL season is a few months away, and the anticipation for the start of the season is at an extremely high level.

With six contributors pitching in for this year’s roundtable, there was a strong diversity of opinions that provided for some entertaining rankings.

Jamie Sabau-USA TODAY Sports We’re wrapping up this five-part post-draft roundtable with your thoughts on the Chicago Bears' general manager. Here’s today’s topic... Did this draft change your opinion of Ryan Poles? Jeff Berckes: Why would it? He’s pretty sound in his approach and clearly works with his coaching staff to acquire players they are excited to work with (did you see Randle El’s excitement after the Burden pick?!).

Jay Biggerstaff-Imagn Images We’ve all had some time to reflect on the 2025 NFL Draft, so give us your answer to this question. Which of their selections will have the biggest long-term impact for the Chicago Bears? Jeff Berckes: Taking Colston Loveland is such a big swing, and if he reaches the heights you think he can, he’s a superstar tight end. That could change everything about how the offense is designed and operates. Exciting stuff.

Kyle Robertson/Columbus Dispatch / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images We wrap up another draft-centric Chicago Bears roundtable today, where we’ve been asking our team to give the player they want at specific positions. In case you missed it, we already hit on running back, offensive line, and defensive line, so here’s our final question: Besides the trenches and running back, who is the one prospect you hope the Bears draft? Here’s what we had to say. Mongo Peanut: Wide out, Jaylin Noel.

Troy Taormina-USA TODAY Sports A few of us at WCG are running through a Chicago Bears, draft-centric roundtable, and we’re on to topic number three. Today’s question: Who is the one defensive lineman you want the Bears to draft? Here are our picks. Jacob Infante: Michigan’s Kenneth Grant would be the dream for me. Contrary to popular belief, Andrew Billings has been a more efficient pass rusher than run stopper with the Bears, and Gervon Dexter is better against the pass, as well.

Mike Watters-Imagn Images The NFL Draft is just two weeks away, so we wanted to kick off a roundtable asking some of our staffers to give us their favorite prospects at a few positions. Today’s question: Who is the one running back you want the Chicago Bears to draft? And here’s what a few of us had to say. Jacob Infante: Ashton Jeanty feels like the easy way out, so I’ll go with another early-round running back in Quinshon Judkins.
