  1. Chicago Bears

Ronnie Stanley – OT – Notre Dame

The Bears have a major hole at tackle and Stanley is the second-best offensive tackle in this years draft but far behind Tunsil. The Bears could go the corner route or defensive tackle route but fixing the offensive line is a top priority.Chicago has to start giving Jay Cutler some better protection as he is beginning to get older. If head coach John Fox wants any shot of making the playoffs in the coming season, he has to keep Cutler upright.

With Stanley the Bears can move Kyle Long back inside where he plays much better. 2015 saw Long struggle at times with power edge rushers something Stanley can fix and with Long inside of him, the Bears could have a very strong left side on the line.
