The Chicago Bears will prioritize offensive line and pass rush in the 2025 NFL Draft, and Scourton is the edge defender at the Senior Bowl with the highest pre-draft grade right now. The former Purdue star transferred to Texas A&M in 2024 and finished the season with a somewhat disappointing five sacks (he had 10 sacks in 2023).

The Bears will be selecting 10th overall in the NFL draft. There are a slew of needs on the roster, most notably along the offensive line, where there are four starting spots up for grabs (with right tackle Darnell Wright safe), to help protect quarterback Caleb Williams.

Reese’s Senior Bowl kicks off this week with practices throughout the week before the game that will be played on Saturday, Feb. 1, at 1:30 p.m. ET. The Senior Bowl is an All-Star game that kicks off the draft process and features some of the top draft prospects in the upcoming NFL Draft.

The Chicago Bears have hired Dennis Allen as defensive coordinator and Declan Doyle as offensive coordinator under new coach Ben Johnson.

Considered the front-runner for the job when Brian Schottenheimer was hired as Dallas Cowboys head coach, Matt Eberflus is now the team's defensive coordinator, the team announced Tuesday. Eberflus served as the head coach of the Chicago Bears for nearly three seasons before he was fired on Nov.
