Building the Chicago Bears 2025 Draft Board: EDGE Rusher

Chicago Bears EDGE Rusher Prospects

The Bears will be adding several defensive linemen this offseason. Currently, they have significant gaps at the EDGE position. When it comes to EDGE rushers, the top 50 picks in the draft are the best place to find them, making the 2025 NFL Draft key to finding a difference maker. Now, let’s explore some of their possible targets. You can find our video breakdowns, scouting reports, mock drafts, and other content on the Building The Board homepage!

Since the end of the regular season, the Building The Board team has worked hard to build a draft board for the Bears. This board accounts for scheme fit, draft preferences from previous classes, and positional needs.

Our scouts have been reviewing players available in the 2025 NFL Draft, aiming to create a final top-100 draft board for the Bears. In the latest installment of our podcast, Building The Board, we discussed our initial batch of players, including some EDGE prospects the Bears should consider.

What's On Tap Next?

We currently have just over 100 players graded, but we still need to return to the tape to close out certain position groups. Look out for future podcast episodes, as we plan to knock out two positional breakdowns per week. We will have a defensive tackle episode out on Thursday before getting into receivers and running backs next week!
