Simmons was the best offensive tackle in the class this year on tape. His athletic profile is ideal for a blindside blocker, a feat few can claim in the 2025 NFL Draft class. Unfortunately, Ohio State lost him early against Oregon in their first matchup. That means he played… nobody. His last bout against true NFL talent was in 2023, and that tape is far less enticing. The question becomes whether he’s improved as much as he showed, or if his improvements are only marginal and he only looked elite because he didn’t face any legitimate NFL talent. In the end, his technical improvements seem very real and his athleticism makes him worthy of being the first tackle drafted in this class.
Milum is one of the few players in college football this season to actually get the better of Abdul Carter. The West Virginia tackle will be a guard at the next level, but his consistency in pass protection will be a beautiful sight for a team with a quarterback lacking an internal clock. However, Milum also possesses a mean streak that devastates second-level defenders in the run game, and his intelligence puts him in the right spots without possessing elite-level natural burst.
Felton has elite-level burst. The leggy Terrapin receiver is one of the quietest killers in the draft. Despite his burner traits, only San Diego State WR Nick Nash commanded more targets in 2024. Felton was a true three-level threat for Maryland who was manufactured touches while also flashing high-level fluidity as a route runner. In fact, Felton is very much what draftniks thought Troy Franklin was coming out of Oregon a season ago.
There is a very good chance that Green is about 30-40 picks too low in this January mock draft. The Marshall edge might be the third-most naturally gifted pass rusher in the class. However, he also lacks the frame density and raw power of a three-down player at this point, which leads one to believe he’ll have a rotational role early on.
Miami Hurricanes' RB Damien Martinez could be a good addition to Ben Johnson's squad. This season, the CFB star notched 159 carries for 1,002 Rushing Yards and 10 TDs.
Ben Johnson could also be interested in Bearcats WR Janmoi Mayes's services. This season the young CFB star made 29 reception for 349 receiving yards and 1 TD.
Oregon's DT Jamaree Caldwell could also be on Bears' list of possible players to acquire. The Defensive Lineman had a decent season as he defended 3 passes and recorded 29 tackles.
A&M's Kendall Bohler might also be a good fit for the Bears. The young CB had 23 solo tackles, 1 interception and defended two passes.
