Bears projected to select offensive tackle Kelvin Banks Jr. with 10th pick in NFL draft
In a recent 2025 NFL mock draft, the Chicago Bears are projected to select offensive tackle Kelvin Banks Jr. with the 10th overall pick. This move aims to strengthen their offensive line, which may see multiple changes next season. The Bears are focusing on improving their pass protection, as they could replace three or four starters. General manager Ryan Poles is expected to prioritize the offensive line in both free agency and the draft. Banks is seen as a potential franchise left tackle, complementing right tackle Darnell Wright. This selection follows the earlier pick of Will Campbell by the New England Patriots at fourth overall.
