The Chicago Bears are in a transformative offseason under new head coach Ben Johnson, focusing heavily on improvements along the defensive line. Following a bustling free agency period, they acquired notable talents like Grady Jarrett and Dayo Odeyingbo. The Bears now enter the 2025 NFL Draft with seven picks, including four in the top 75, positioning themselves to enhance their defensive front.

Returning starters Gervon Dexter and Andrew Billings are expected to lead the charge, but both have faced challenges, particularly Billings, whose injury impacted the overall effectiveness last season. Dexter, who showed promise with five sacks last season, will benefit from Jarrett's veteran presence. With the departure of Byron Cowart to the New York Jets, the Bears remain in moderate need of further depth at the position.
