Note: This list is not in order
10 Options for the Bears at Pick 10 in the Draft
OT Will Campbell, LSU
As the consensus top offensive lineman in this year’s draft, Will Campbell should be high on the Bears’ draft board. With his experience, power, size, and tenacity, he has the potential to be a cornerstone of Chicago’s offensive line for years to come.

OT Kelvin Banks, Texas
The Lombardi Award winner for the top offensive lineman in college football, Kelvin Banks Jr. has all the traits of becoming an elite tackle in the NFL. With left tackle being a premium position in the NFL, don’t count the Bears out on drafting Banks despite having Braxton Jones.
RB Ashton Jeanty, Boise State
Drafting a running back this early may be a controversial move, but Ashton Jeanty is being labeled a “generational talent” by many analysts. His explosiveness and playmaking ability could add an exciting new dimension to the Bears’ backfield.
OG Tyler Booker, Alabama
If Chicago wants the best pure interior offensive lineman in the draft, Tyler Booker is the guy. A dominant run blocker and natural leader, Booker has solidified himself as a first-round talent.

OT Armand Membou, Missouri
At 6’3″, Armand Membou may be shorter than the prototypical lineman, but he has the technique and athleticism to excel in the NFL. The Bears might have plans of starting him at right guard but either way, Membou offers the team an upgrade on the offensive line.
OT Josh Simmons, Ohio State
If not for a season-ending injury, Josh Simmons would likely be a lock for the top 10. Despite the setback, he possesses the quickness, hand placement, and awareness to neutralize elite pass rushers.
OT Aireontae Ersery, Minnesota
If the Bears want a mammoth of a man at left tackle who possesses the mechanics and explosiveness, Aireontae Ersery is the guy. At 6’6″ and 330 pounds, his quickness and versatility make him an intriguing option for the Bears in the first round.

DT Walter Nolen, Ole Miss
It wasn’t too long ago Walter Nolen was projected in the second round. Now, with talks of him going in round one with an impressive Senior Bowl performance, Nolen could be the future next to Gervon Dexter Sr. in the middle of the Bears’ defensive line.
EDGE Mike Green, Marshall
The talk of the NFL Draft, Mike Green shined during the Senior Bowl and proved that despite being a little underweight, he is one of the top pass rushers in this year’s draft.
EDGE Shemar Stewart, Texas A&M
Another Senior Bowl standout, Shemar Stewart has the size at 6’5″ and 281 pounds to bully offensive linemen. His nose for the ball and pure power should have Bears’ defensive coordinator Dennis Allen pounding the table for him.
Two No-Brainer Picks at No. 10
If Abdul Carter or Mason Graham were somehow still available when the Bears are on the clock, either player would be an easy choice. Both are elite athletes capable of elevating Chicago’s defense to another level. However, the chances of either falling to No. 10 are extremely slim.
Honorable Mentions:
- DT Kenneth Grant, Michigan
- EDGE James Pearce Jr., Tennessee
- EDGE Nic Scourton, Texas A&M
- EDGE Mykel Williams, Georgia
