The Chicago Bears are excited to get their 2015 season underway after a complete overhaul of their coaching staff this offseason. Head coach John Fox is looking to get the ship back on the right track, and both offensive coordinator Adam Gase and defensive coordinator Vic Fangio are major upgrades for the Bears.

The Bears selected West Virginia wide receiver Kevin White with the seventh overall pick in the draft, and there is a chance he could end up being the best player in the class. He has received quite a few comparisons to Julio Jones due to his athleticism and physicality, and will immediately start and replace Brandon Marshall. White is exactly what the Bears' offense needed, and he will be a huge piece immediately.

Round 2 - Eddie Goldman, Defensive Tackle

Another major need for the Bears coming into this offseason was help on the defensive line. They decided to take a wide receiver in the first round, but were lucky enough to see Eddie Goldman fall to them. At 6-foot-4 and 320 pounds, he is going to be an intimidating presence for the Bears' defensive front and will likely work his way into the starting lineup early on in his career, if not immediately.

Round 3 - Hroniss Grasu, Center

Chicago decided to go with some depth for their offensive line in the third round, and selected Oregon center Hroniss Grasu. He may play fairly early on in his career, but it is not known whether or not he will have a major role during his rookie season. Grasu is 6-foot-3 and 297 pounds, and will develop into a very solid offensive lineman at some point in the first few years of his career.

Round 4 - Jeremy Langford, Running Back

Jeremy Langford was added in the fourth round by the Bears to bring more depth behind starting running back Matt Forte. They are very similar players, and Langord is coming off of a big season with the Michigan State Spartans running for 1,522 yards and 22 touchdowns on just 276 carries. He will have the opportunity to learn the NFL game from Forte, and will likely slide into the primary backup role immediately in 2015.

Round 5 - Adrian Amos, Safety

The Bears have struggled at the safety position for the past few seasons, but they took a huge step in the right direction by selecting Penn State's Adrian Amos in the fifth round. During his senior season last year, Amos ended up racking up 42 tackles, three interceptions and seven defensed passes. He showed excellent leadership in college, and he will likely see a lot of playing time and break into the starting lineup in his rookie season.

Round 6 - Tayo Fabuluje, Offensive Tackle

At 6-foot-6 and 353 pounds, the Bears got a lot of talent in the sixth round to help the future of their offensive line. He isn't likely to see any playing time during his rookie season barring injuries, but has a lot of potential to become a legitimate starter in the future. Chicago's coaching staff is excited to work with and develop them, and it will be interesting to see how he progresses over the next few seasons.
