Chicago Bears general manager Phil Emery has had his up and down moments in his two-plus seasons in charge.

In his second offseason, he hired Marc Trestman as head coach and improved what was once one of the worst offensive lines in football, bringing in four new starters in 2013. Despite hitting on his first-round pick with Pro Bowler Kyle Long, the rest of his draft in 2013 struggled when forced into action last season.
