Chicago Bears General Manager Ryan Poles and Head Coach Ben Johnson are set to embark on their second NFL Draft together. Things went well for that duo in Year 1, with the team drafting immediate contributors such as Colston Loveland, Luther Burden III, Ozzy Trapilo, and Kyle Monangai. But even after a busy transactional period at the start of the new league year, the Bears still have holes to fill. With that in mind, let’s look at some of the more promising possible Bears fits in the NFL Draft.
Potential Target, School, Position
Info: Caleb Lomu, Utah, offensive tackle
Measurements: 6-6 1/4, 313 pounds, 33 3/8-inch arms, 9 1/2-inch hands
Stats, Rankings, Accomplishments
2023: Redshirted, but played in three games as a reserve. 2024: Started 12 games at left tackle en route to earning Freshman All-American honors 2025: Started another 12 games at left tackle as he picked up first-team All-Big 12 honors Notable: Lomu earned an 82.1 pass-blocking grade in 2025, which ranked 28th of 632 tackles according to Pro Football Focus’ data. But his overall grade (68.4, 139th/632 OTs) and run-blocking grade (62.0, 232nd/632 OTs) leave something to be desired.Prospect rankings: OT-5, 28th overall (ESPN), OT-7, 38th overall (PFF), OT-3, 13th overall (CBS Sports), OT-5, 25th overall (The Athletic)

Caleb Lomu is one of the many intriguing offensive line prospects whose names have been mentioned recently among possible Bears draft targets. For what it’s worth, the Bears reportedly hosted Lomu on a Top 30 visit during the pre-draft process.
Caleb Lomu NFL Draft Profile
NFL Media’s Lance Zierlein said this about the young Utah offensive tackle:
Two-year starting left tackle who is still in the early stages of his development. Utah’s run game leaned heavily on movement and misdirection, preventing Lomu from firing out and showing his power. His run blocking trails his pass protection, but improved pad level and a nastier demeanor could close the gap. In protection, he shows good balance with adequate foot quickness, landing quick, well-timed punches and using a firm grip to control rushers once he’s in. His anchor was rarely stressed by power and his athletic recoveries are average. Lomu flashes but is still under construction. His play could improve rapidly with strength gains and additional coaching.

The Fit
This is what the Bears’ offensive line depth chart looks like right now (projected starters in bold):
LT: Braxton Jones, Jedrick Wills Jr., Theo Benedet LG: Joe Thuney, Jordan McFadden, Kiran Amegadjie, Kyle Hergel C: Garrett Bradbury RG: Jonah Jackson, Luke Newman RT: Darnell WrightCould the Bears add Caleb Lomu to this mix? Perhaps!
For what it’s worth, Matt Miller — who notably predicted that Colston Loveland would be Chicago’s pick in Round 1 last year — has the Bears going with Lomu in his latest mock draft:

— Silvy (@WaddleandSilvy) April 20, 2026As teammate Matt Rooney wrote in his Kadyn Proctor profile, the fit for the Bears and any first-round tackle isn’t very difficult to see.
Ozzy Trapilo’s injury in the team’s playoff win against the Green Bay Packers opened the door to Chicago possibly addressing the left tackle position (again) this offseason. Braxton Jones, the team’s Week 1 starter at left tackle in each of the last four seasons, re-signed on a one-year “prove it” deal. Jedrick Wills Jr., a top offensive tackle prospect in the 2020 NFL Draft class who didn’t pan out after being selected by the Cleveland Browns, signed a one-year deal of his own with the Bears this offseason. Wills figures to duke it out with Jones for the starting left tackle position. However, another combatant could enter the fray during the NFL Draft.
There are a handful of factors that make Lomu a quality target for the Bears with pick No. 25. He has 24 games of starting experience at left tackle from the last two seasons, has length and desirable athleticism, and his pass-blocking prowess is better than I would have expected from someone coming off their redshirt sophomore season. But it sounds like he could use some refining of his technique and improvements as a run-blocker. Perfect offensive line prospects don’t tend to fall to pick No. 25, so I’m not too irked about his perceived shortcomings.
In the end, I can’t bring myself to feel strongly one way or another about the possibility of Caleb Lomu being the pick for Chicago on the NFL Draft’s first night. But if he is, then it would indicate this front office’s belief in Lomu’s potential moving forward. And that would make for an intriguing selection.
