The Athletic’s College Beat has Armand Membou to the Bears
At some point during mock draft season, the first-round mocks will all start to blend together as analysts get a better sense of who they think each team will draft. But for now, we’re still getting a good variety at the top of the draft, and the latest from The Athletic had the Chicago Bears going in a fresh direction.
Only First-Rounders Left for Bears After Austin Booker Signing
The Athletic’s latest mock draft was compiled by eight of its college football writers. These guys have covered the careers of all the prospects, and here’s how they have the Bears mocking at ten.
Membou (6’3”, 332) is probably playing guard in the NFL, and even if the Bears wanted to try to keep him at tackle, that would require him to flip sides because Danrell Wright seems entrenched as Chicago’s right tackle.

Membou could very well go on to have a great NFL career, but if the real draft fell this way, I would not be happy with this selection.
Here’s how the first nine picks in their mock went.
1. Tennessee Titans: Cam Ward, QB, Miami
2. Cleveland Browns: Abdul Carter, DE, Penn State
3. New York Giants: Travis Hunter, CB/WR, Colorado
4. New England: Will Campbell, OT, LSU

5. Jacksonville Jaguars: Jalon Walker, LB/Edge, Georgia
6. Las Vegas Raiders: Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado
7. New York Jets: Mason Graham, DT, Michigan
8. Carolina Panthers: Mike Green, Edge, Marshall
9. New Orleans Saints: Mykel Williams, Edge, Georgia
What would you want the Bears to do in this scenario?
