In 24 hours, the Chicago Bears’ mock drafts from the past few months were pancaked. The trade acquisitions of guards Joe Thuney and Jonah Jackson completely altered the Bears’ offensive line as well as how to approach the top of their draft.

The Chicago Bears' trades for Joe Thuney and Jonah Jackson have set the team up to potentially target Ashton Jeanty in the 2025 NFL Draft.

If anybody should understand the value of an elite running back, it's the Chicago Bears. This is a franchise that can boast Red Grange, Gale Sayers, Walter Payton and Matt Forte. Grange signed with the Bears in 1925. Jeanty could be the heir apparent to that century-old tradition.
