Ben Johnson attended the NFL Owners Meetings on Tuesday, expressing excitement about the upcoming NFL Draft and the Bears’ stockpile of picks.

"It's a great draft to have those Day 2 picks: 39, 41, 72," Johnson said. "Those are great value picks this year. You're going to be able to find some really good players that can be contributors, maybe not Day 1, but at some point over the course of the season. We'll see. We have some depth concerns throughout the roster that we're looking to fill, but we feel really good about how the roster's come together through free agency."

One of the biggest rumors surrounding Chicago is the possibility of drafting elite running back Ashton Jeanty if he's available at No. 10 overall.

According to ESPN Analytics, the Bears are currently the most likely team to select Jeanty.

It should be fun to follow as the Bears try to bolster the team on their team and fill their holes for the 2025 season.
