As the 2025 NFL Draft approaches, speculation continues to swirl around potential picks, and all signs point to the Bears having a strong interest in Ashton Jeanty. It’s not just idle chatter—Dianna Russini has all but confirmed the team’s intentions without needing to elaborate much.
“The Bears have been linked to Jeanty for weeks, and they are hoping they can snag him at 10.”

This shouldn’t come as a shock. The Bears have reportedly also considered Omarion Hampton and TreVeyon Henderson for their tenth overall pick, but Jeanty is widely viewed as a cut above those two. If they’re seriously evaluating those other running backs at that spot, it’s clear they’d jump at the chance to select Jeanty if he’s still available.
The big unknown is whether Jeanty will still be on the board by then. The Las Vegas Raiders are believed to be the frontrunners to draft the Boise State standout, though recent chatter suggests they might focus on bolstering their offensive or defensive lines instead.
There are conflicting reports: some suggest Jeanty could slip past pick six, possibly falling to the ninth spot, while others believe he won’t make it that far, which could explain the Raiders’ shifting strategy.
Ultimately, while pick ten seems to be Jeanty’s floor, his ceiling remains uncertain. It’s going to be a tense wait for the Bears as they watch the draft unfold between picks five and nine. If Jeanty’s available at ten, their choice is clear. But if he’s gone, the real question is—what’s Plan B?
