The 2025 NFL Draft is shaping up to be one of the most unpredictable in years, and insiders are buzzing with wild scenarios. Here are two spicy predictions gaining traction:
🔥 Chicago Bears Make an Aggressive Move for Ashton Jeanty:
The Scenario: Despite drafting Caleb Williams in 2024, the Bears aren’t done adding elite offensive weapons. They trade up from their late-R1 spot to snag Boise State RB Ashton Jeanty, a dynamic playmaker compared to Jahmyr Gibbs 2.0.
Why It Makes Sense: Jeanty’s elusive cutting, breakaway speed, and receiving chops would give Chicago the most explosive backfield in the league. Pairing him with Williams and DJ Moore turns the Bears into an NFC North nightmare.
Cost: Chicago packages their 1st, a 2026 2nd, and a mid-round pick to jump into the top 15.
🔥 Dallas Cowboys Stay Local with Their 1st-Round Pick:
The Prediction: Jerry Jones keeps it in-state, selecting Texas DT Byron Murphy II to anchor Dallas’ defensive line.
Why It Fits: The Cowboys’ run defense was exposed in 2024, and Murphy—a disruptive, quick-twitch interior force—gives them the toughness they’ve lacked since prime Tyrone Crawford.
Bonus Drama: Passing on a flashy WR (like LSU’s Kyren Lacy) will have fans debating for months.
