<p>One of the primary reasons for the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.sportsmockery.com/chicago-bears/how-jeff-king-dropped-major-clue-on-bears-likely-1st-round-defensive-target/">Chicago Bears</a> having a successful 2025 NFL draft was a stroke of good luck. Following their selection of Colston Loveland in the first round, they held the 39th pick in the second round. Many were surprised to find Luther Burden still available, as he was widely considered a first-round pick due to his blend of size, strength, and speed. However, his disappointing stats in 2024 and concerns about his motivation during practices negatively impacted his draft stock.</p>
<p>It turns out those worries may have been exaggerated, as Burden emerged as one of the Bears' most effective players in the latter part of the season. This raises the question: With two second-round picks at their disposal this year, could any prospects projected for the first round slip into their range once again? During such scenarios, it’s helpful to utilize what I refer to as the Bermuda Triangle of draft sliding.</p>
<p>If a player has serious concerns in any of three critical areas, they're likely to be drafted lower than expected, sometimes significantly so. Here are a few names that could interest the Bears.</p>
<h2><strong>Four Key Names for the Chicago Bears to Monitor</strong></h2>
<p><strong>Akheem Mesidor (EDGE, Miami)</strong></p>
<p>Mesidor had an impressive season for the Hurricanes, registering 12.5 sacks and 17.5 tackles for loss. His combination of power and quickness makes him tough to block in various schemes. Typically, such a prospect would be a first-round lock. However, he turns 25 this year, making him considerably older for a draft prospect. History shows that players over 23 rarely get picked in the first round unless they are quarterbacks.</p>
<p><strong>Jordyn Tyson (WR, Arizona State)</strong></p>
<p>Tyson possesses numerous appealing qualities as a receiver, being one of the most refined route-runners in this draft class. However, injury struggles throughout his college career—including knee, collarbone, and hamstring issues—raise red flags. Teams are hesitant to invest first-round picks in players with a history of injuries, despite Tyson’s potential fitting well with the Bears' needs.</p>
<h3><strong>Kadyn Proctor (OT, Alabama)</strong></h3>
<p>Proctor has garnered attention for his dominating performances at Alabama, effectively using his impressive size and length against SEC defenders. Despite his skills, history warns against selecting oversized tackles, as past high picks in this category have frequently underperformed. Rumors regarding Proctor's conditioning and focus may further deter teams, possibly pushing him to Day 2 of the draft.</p>
<p><strong>Jermod McCoy (CB, Tennessee)</strong></p>
<p>With Nahshon Wright no longer on the roster, cornerback emerges as a crucial position for the Bears under Dennis Allen’s defense. McCoy embodies the qualities the Bears prefer: length, athleticism, and a knack for turnovers. Unfortunately, an ACL tear last season has significantly impacted his draft position, and his inability to test further complicates matters, increasing the likelihood he could drop to the Bears' second-round picks.</p>
