18 MAR 2025 · 📢 CHICAGO BEARS PULL OFF A DRAFT HEIST! 🏆
Trade Down & STILL Snag a Top-5 Prospect in This 7-Round Mock Draft! 🐻⬇️
The Chicago Bears just MASTERED the 2025 NFL Draft with a genius trade-down strategy—and somehow, they STILL landed Tyler Warren, a top-5 prospect that fans and analysts are raving about! How did this happen?! We break it all down in this full 7-round mock draft!
🔥 FIRST-ROUND TRADE-DOWN MAGIC & TYLER WARREN STEAL! 🔥
The Bears took a calculated risk, trading back in the first round to stockpile more draft capital… and it PAID OFF BIG TIME! Despite moving down, they still landed Tyler Warren, an elite prospect with superstar potential. Many experts had him as a top-5 talent, and now he's rocking the navy and orange! 🐻💙🧡
📈 BPA STRATEGY: BUILDING A FUTURE CONTENDER! After securing Warren, the guys at Halas Huddle switched to a Best Player Available ("BPA") approach—maximizing value at multiple positions of need:
✅ A new running back to add explosiveness to the offense
✅ A path to finding a new safety to strengthen the secondary
✅ Depth in the trenches on both sides of the ball
✅ And MORE hidden gems that could shape the future of this team!

22 FEB 2025 · The Chicago Bears are already making moves to the roster. Cutting players now gives them ample opportunity to sign with other teams earlier.
Were the roster cuts the right decision for this team? Let us know how you feel in our comments on our YouTube page!
Ian Cunningham was a finalist for the Jacksonville Jaguars general manager position. Many wanted to see him receive the gig to give the Bears an extra third-round pick in 2025 and another extra third-round pick in 2026.
That did not happen though as Cunningham is sticking around.
The Chicago Bears have a lot of holes to fill and the team needs to find players who not only meet their salary investments but, also exceed them.
They especially need help in the trenches.
Will the additional money they received from cutting two key players on the 2024 roster be everything Poles and Ben Johnson need to make a serious run in 2025?

17 FEB 2025 · In Part 2 of the Halas Huddle mock offseason, the Chicago Bears spend big in free agency by signing multiple top free agents. Did they choose wisely?
Ryan Poles and Ben Johnson add some key players to the roster while leaving some cap space to roll over into 2026.
These targeted signings will help the Chicago Bears reach playoff contention as early as 2025.
Will the additional free agents help set the Chicago Bears up for the 2025 NFL Draft? It will definitely give them some added flexibility.
What about the idea of making a trade instead? There are trade rumors that the Bears might be interested in trading for a top edge rusher, but will the guys at Halas Huddle follow those rumors or follow their own draft strategy?

7 FEB 2025 · The 2025 NFL Draft is a few months away, but draft season is heavily upon us.
The NFL Combine is only a few weeks away and with a new coaching staff, it's time to make some big changes.
We recently released our first mock draft of the season, and Rob spoke to the fact that the draft class isn't top-heavy.
With only two quarterbacks projected to go in the top 10, not many players will fall to the Bears at 10.
Also, many analysts have very different prospects within their top 10.
Rob shares the only players he finds worthy of a top-10 pick.
He and Justin discuss which players make sense for the Chicago Bears at 10.
Will the Bears go with an offensive lineman like Will Campbell or Kelvin Banks?
Will they make a splash to somehow land Abdul Carter?
What about going with a running back like Ashton Jeanty?
Who else makes the worthy list, and are the Chicago Bears likely to draft a player at the 10 spot or will they trade back?

5 FEB 2025 · In this first mock draft for the Halas Huddle, Rob revisits his BearGoggles seven-round mock draft, including a historic number of first-round trades.
Ryan Poles and Ben Johnson reshaped the offensive and defensive lines by focusing on the trenches. The Chicago Bears come away with a stud pass rusher while still fixing the biggest needs along the offensive line.
What grade would you give this mock draft if the Chicago Bears could come away with two starting offensive linemen, a stud EDGE rusher, a backup defensive tackle and a potential ball hawk to replace one of their safeties?
What are some names you want to hear more about?
NFL Draft content will be hitting hot and heavy as the Chicago Bears prepare for the NFL Combine this month.
Rob and the guys at Halas Huddle have you covered!
