The Chicago Bears added six new players to their roster via the NFL draft in 2015, and an additional 16 players were signed as undrafted free agents.

Most of the team’s undrafted free agents are long shots to make the roster or practice squad, but a few of those players have upside and potential.
What should Bears fans expect from this year’s rookie class? We explore that ahead as we set realistic expectations for some of Chicago’s undrafted free agents and each of its 2015 draft picks.
