Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Pace made it clear in his introductory press conference the key to building a winning organization starts with the NFL draft.
“The recipe to winning Super Bowls is stringing successful drafts together again and again,” he said, via the Chicago Tribune. “We are not just collecting athletes. We are acquiring football players that fit the Chicago Bears.”
The team has six picks in this year’s draft, including the seventh overall selection, meaning Pace is going to need to get the most out of each of his picks, particularly on the defensive side of the football.
After Chicago hired the defensive-minded John Fox as head coach late last week, the organization wasted little time bringing in former San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator Vic Fangio to run the defense.

Fangio is rooted in a 3-4 defense that shows multiple looks, which means the organization is going to need to draft some pieces who can fit into that type of defense moving forward.
On Wednesday night, the team announced the hiring of Adam Gase as offensive coordinator:

Even though there are more needs on the defensive side of the football, Gase will likely push for some help in the draft on the offensive side.
Here is how the Chicago Bears can get the most out of each pick in the 2015 draft.
