The Chicago Bears are gearing up for the 2025 NFL Draft with a focus on revamping their roster. With the 10th overall pick, discussions revolve around addressing critical needs in the offensive line or pass rush, though some speculate the possibility of selecting a running back like Ashton Jeanty. However, the more likely scenario involves drafting a running back before the end of Day 2 to complement D'Andre Swift, who received a partial vote of confidence from coach Ben Johnson at the NFL Combine.

After a lackluster year from Roschon Johnson, who struggled with injuries and efficiency in 2024, the Bears find themselves with thin depth at running back. General Manager Ryan Poles is reportedly considering Arizona State's standout Cam Skattebo, whose performance in the 2024 season—over 1,700 rushing yards and 21 touchdowns—has turned heads. Skattebo's physical running style is likened to that of David Montgomery, whose absence has been felt since his departure. If he demonstrates adequate speed during pro day, he could bolster the Bears' offensive backfield significantly.
