The Chicago Bears have been very busy this offseason. With Ben Johnson as the new head coach in town, it's quite possible that the Bears could be a contender in 2025.
Among the roster moves they have already made this offseason are adding center Drew Dalman, defensive end Dayo Odeyingbo, defensive tackle Grady Jarrett, guard Joe Thuney, guard Jonah Jackson, and wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus.
Chicago has already added a lot of help for young quarterback Caleb Williams.
In the 2024 NFL Draft, the Bears are now being projected to add a "tremendous" 25-touchdown weapon for Williams in the first round.
Field Yates of ESPN has released a new top-10 mock draft following the first wave of NFL free agency. He has Chicago selecting Penn State tight end Tyler Warren.
"Is tight end a primary need for Chicago? No. Is it easy to imagine new coach Ben Johnson dialing up some incredible concepts and play designs revolving around Warren? Oh, yes," Yates wrote.
"Offensive line would have been the clear priority for the Bears, but they totally revamped their interior by trading for guards Joe Thuney and Jonah Jackson and then also signing center Drew Dalman. The trenches already look much better on paper. So, let's get Warren, who is tremendous after the catch and could help quarterback Caleb Williams in a big way, into the top 10."
Warren is coming off of a big-time season with the Nittany Lions in 2024. He caught 104 passes for 1,233 yards and eight touchdowns.
Due to his strong year, Warren won the 2024 John Mackey Award, which is given to the nation's best tight end.
Standing in at 6-foot-6 and 260 pounds, Warren could become an elite long-term target for Williams.
Bleacher Report also recently made a massive comparison for Warren. They give him a pro comparison of Greg Olsen, one of the best tight ends in recent NFL history.
