The Chicago Bears have a first-round pick for the second time in the last five years. After trading the No. 1 pick to the Carolina Panthers, the Bears still have a top 10 pick at ninth overall, where general manager Ryan Poles has a chance to find an impact player.
The Bears also have two picks in the second round, including the 61st selection. There have been six Pro Bowlers selected with the 61st pick, but there have been no First-Team All-Pros among the group (although Eddie Lacy was voted Second-Team All-Pro).
