The Chicago Bears have found their new head coach in Ben Johnson, who spent the past three seasons leading a top-five Detroit Lions offense. It's a move that's been met with praise from fans and analysts. Johnson is a home-run hire for the Bears, but general manager Ryan Poles has plenty of work to do with this roster, between free agency and the 2025 NFL draft, to elevate this team. But it helps that Chicago has the resource to do just that with the fifth-most salary cap space and four picks in the Top 75 of the NFL draft. With the arrival of Johnson, we thought it would be the perfect time to unveil our new seven-round mock draft (using PFF's draft simulator) where we try to improve the Bears' roster at several positions of need, including a shocking move in the first round.
