Bears plan to trade up for defensive talent

The Chicago Bears plan to strengthen their defensive line in the 2025 NFL Draft. After signing Grady Jarrett and Dayo Odeyingbo, they aim to add more talent to support their struggling defense. A recent prediction suggests the Bears will trade their ninth-overall pick to the Indianapolis Colts for the 14th pick, a 2025 third-rounder, and a 2026 fifth-rounder. They are expected to select Michigan defensive tackle Kenneth Grant. Grant, a 21-year-old, is noted for his run-stopping ability and potential as a pass rusher. He had a strong college season, making him a promising addition to the Bears' defense.
