In a new 2025 NFL mock draft from Field Yates and Mel Kiper, the Bears make the move for some playmakers while continuing to shore up the trenches.

NFL Draft can't get here soon enough. After months of speculation and what feels like hundreds of mock drafts, we'll soon learn who the newest class of Chicago Bears is. Until then, we're left to speculate who those bright-eyed Bears beacons of hope will be.

In a new mock draft from Athlon Sports' Luke Easterling, the Bears take a massive swing by trading up with the New York Giants to select Penn State edge rusher Abdul Carter at third overall. As far as compensation, the Bears send their pair of early second-round picks (Nos. 39, 41) to the Giants to move up seven spots for Carter.
