Bears likely to draft LSU offensive tackle for Caleb Williams' protection

The Chicago Bears are projected to select Jordan Seaton, an offensive tackle from LSU, in ESPN's preseason mock draft. This move is aimed at strengthening the offensive line to better protect quarterback Caleb Williams during the upcoming 2026 season. Despite needs in other positions, the Bears are focusing on securing long-term protection, particularly at left tackle, after selecting Logan Jones earlier in the draft. Seaton, a 6-foot-5, 307-pound player, has shown promise and could develop into a top offensive lineman, vital for the Bears as they prepare for a significant financial commitment to Williams soon.
