The 2025 NFL Draft is now just about 24 hours away, and speculation is heating up. Few prospects have been linked to a specific team as frequently and consistently as Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty has to the Chicago Bears. His name has been a staple across numerous articles and mock drafts, with many experts predicting he could be a perfect fit in Chicago under new head coach Ben Johnson.
Jeanty and the Bears: A Growing Connection
The buzz surrounding Jeanty and the Bears isn’t just about on-field fit. Offseason photos of Jeanty with franchise quarterback Caleb Williams have fueled rumors that Chicago may be eyeing the Boise State star as part of their long-term vision. Whether it’s smoke or fire, the speculation has been impossible to ignore.
But the million-dollar question remains: Will Ashton Jeanty still be on the board when the Bears are on the clock at pick No. 10?
A Unique Opportunity to Trade Up
Recent reports suggest that this year’s draft could be one of the most cost-effective in recent memory for teams looking to trade up. With fewer blue-chip prospects at the very top of the class, the price tag for moving up isn’t as steep as it’s been in years past.

This presents a golden opportunity for Bears general manager Ryan Poles. If Chicago believes Jeanty is their guy, they could potentially jump into the top six possibly ahead of the Las Vegas Raiders at No. 6 — without mortgaging too much of their future.
A Jab at Green Bay Bears Fans Will Love
Adding more fuel to the fire, Jeanty spoke with the media on Wednesday in Green Bay, Wisconsin — where this year’s draft is being held and made headlines with some choice words. When asked for his thoughts on Green Bay, let’s just say his response wasn’t exactly glowing.

“Not much to do here.”
For Bears fans, this is music to their ears. A top draft prospect, potentially a future star, openly throwing shade at Green Bay? It’s the perfect combo that I know the Bears brass would love to add to their franchise.
What’s Next?
Ryan Poles hinted earlier this week that he expects this year’s draft to be “a little wild,” predicting “a lot more movement than there has been in the past.” With trade talks heating up and Jeanty’s name continuing to swirl around Chicago, Round 1 could deliver some major surprises.

Give me the relaxed life of the north woods over the packed city’s any day. Also the fact that a zombie apocalypse would be much easier to survive in northern Wisco! Otherwise screw their football team!! That’s the only thing that sucks about GB!
Ha, Yes, I’m sure saying “there’s not much to do there” is a great sign for a 23 year olds values. Great priorities. The dude just lived in Boise for 3 years. Is he looking forward to a great nightlife? Yeah, sign me up for that.
On a different thread, @Hehateme30 wondered aloud why I dislike QB1 so much. Well, here is my answer to Dollar Store Rod Smart: A lot of it has to do with the fact that Caleb Williams essentially began his Chicago Bears career by caping for Aaron Rodgers, the boilerplate example of an entitled, lazy, aggressively ignorant prick who has chosen to use his wealth and celebrity to perpetuate white supremacy and the fucking pigs who traffic it. Throw Rogan is the reason why my contempt for the city of Green Bay has no practical limit. This is how I, a… Read more »
