The Chicago Bears finished the 2014 season with their worst record (5-11) in 10 years, and because of that hot mess, they will be rewarded in 2015 with a top-10 draft pick.
As of the writing of this article, we don't yet know if general manager Phil Emery will still be around in 2015 to make that pick, or if a new general manager will be in place by then.
As we work through the offseason, we will be identifying the Chicago Bears biggest draft needs, as well as zeroing in on the top-10 prospects that are potentially available.
Right now, we know there are a lot of needs on both sides of the ball, but before we jump too far in we will wait and see how Black Monday shakes out for the coaching staff and beyond.
With that being said, are there any names that pop into mind knowing where the Bears will be picking next season?
Helmet-tip to Bucs Nation for the draft order. As noted, the final 12 picks will be determined by playoff results.
