The Chicago Bears know that the 2017 NFL draft could be the decisive turning point for their fortunes after six long, luckless seasons.

Injuries have marred their ability to examine where the roster is currently at in terms of progress. Thus GM Ryan Pace and head coach John Fox might have to make a few adjustments in order to get things on track. The quarterback position being one with Jay Cutler likely done. Further additions on defense and the offensive line are also called for. It’s a matter of prioritizing and which players will be the best available.

How does it play out this time?
