Chicago Bears Q&A: What’s the Plan at No. 10 if the Common Choices Are Gone? Is It Too Early for RB2?
As the 2025 NFL Draft approaches, all eyes are on the Chicago Bears, particularly with their two first-round picks, including the No. 10 overall selection. The focus is understandably on what they’ll do with the No. 1 pick—widely expected to be USC quarterback Caleb Williams—but the intrigue surrounding pick No. 10 is just as critical for the team’s long-term success. What happens if the most popular mock draft choices—like wide receivers Marvin Harrison Jr., Malik Nabers, or offensive tackle Joe Alt—are off the board? And is it too early to look for a backup running back (RB2)? Let’s dig into the possibilities.
What’s the Plan at No. 10 if the Common Picks Are Gone?
If top-tier prospects are gone by the time the Bears are on the clock at 10, GM Ryan Poles will need to be flexible. One logical scenario is a trade-down. The 10th pick could draw serious interest from teams looking to move up for a quarterback or an elite defensive talent. With limited picks in the middle rounds, the Bears might welcome an opportunity to slide down and pick up extra Day 2 capital.
If they stay put, the Bears could pivot toward the next tier of prospects. Offensive line could still be a priority—perhaps targeting someone like Oregon State’s Taliese Fu
