Ever since the final selection was made in last year’s NFL draft, experts have been trying to predict where each of college football’s top prospects are going to land in the 2015 draft.
After a disappointing 2014 season, the Chicago Bears are set to pick seventh overall in this year’s draft.
Chicago fired general manager Phil Emery earlier this offseason and brought in Ryan Pace to revamp the team’s roster. Pace has been active in free agency, but he knows the key to winning championships is building through the draft.
“The recipe to winning Super Bowls is stringing successful drafts together again and again,” Pace said at his introductory press conference, according to the Chicago Tribune. “We are not just collecting athletes. We are acquiring football players that fit the Chicago Bears.”
The Bears looked poised to take a defensive player with their first pick before free agency began, but Pace’s moves this offseason have given the Bears plenty of flexibility in the draft.
Here are five players experts are predicting to the Bears in the first round of the draft later this month.
