After a poor 2014 season for the Chicago Bears, come the NFL Draft their 5-11 season will benefit them, as they hold the seventh overall pick this season.

The Bears have plenty of holes to fill on the roster, as they could look to upgrade on defense, or possibly look to replace Brandon Marshall at wide receiver. New head coach John Fox and new defensive coordinator Vic Fangio will be implementing the 3-4 defense for Chicago next season. With the new defensive scheme in the Windy City, they could be looking for personnel in the draft that will best suit them.

In the early part of the draft, where the Bears will be selecting, there is a good amount of talent on the defensive front, and that could very well be what the Bears decide to draft. Last season, protecting Jay Cutler was also an issue, which could sway the Bears to look to select a dominant offensive lineman in the Top 10. With plenty of talented players in the Top 10 of the NFL Draft, who will the Bears select?

Here are five possible players that the Bears will look to draft in the first-round this year.
