The 2016 NFL free agency period is right around the corner, with teams set to begin negotiating with veteran free agents on March 7th. The free agent signings will certainly change the 2016 NFL Draft landscape, as team needs will shift according to the club’s activity in the free agent market.

The Chicago Bears hold the No. 11 pick in the first round of this year’s draft. Most media analysts project that general manager Ryan Pace will use the Bears’ first-rounder on a defensive player, likely one who can upgrade the talent on the defensive line.

Here’s a look at who NFL Draft experts from around the web project the Bears to draft in the first round. To see each analysts’ full mock, click on the appropriate link:

Bleacher Report’s Matt Miller: Darron Lee, OLB, Ohio State

Few players enjoyed as productive a week as Darron Lee had at the scouting combine. Weighing in at 6’1″ and 232 pounds, the freak linebacker ran a 4.43 in the 40 and vertical-jumped 35.5″. Lee, who many are comparing to former Ohio State linebacker Ryan Shazier, would be a nightmare for offenses in Vic Fangio’s defense.

CBS Sports’ Dane Brugler: Darron Lee, OLB, Ohio State

Lee is a versatile run-and-hit linebacker who fits today’s NFL and transcends scheme, suiting the Bears’ 3-4 base defense.

Pro Football Focus’ Steve Palazzolo: Ezekiel Elliot, RB, Ohio State

With RB Matt Forte getting released, need and value match up well for the Bears as they get one of the best all-around players in the draft. Elliott posted the third overall grade among the nation’s running backs, showing well as a runner, receiver, and pass blocker while adding some lead blocking to the mix as well. He can cut on a dime and he maximizes runs by finishing well through contact, so expect Elliott to become an immediate three-down option at the next level.

ESPN’s Todd McShay: Shaq Lawson, DE, Clemson

The Bears need more impact players on defense, and Lawson — who led the FBS with 25.5 tackles for loss last season — fits the bill. He plays with a good mixture of relentlessness, technique and discipline. Lawson isn’t the best athlete on tape, but he tested well at the combine and has a good first step.

CBS Sports’ Pete Prisco: Elie Apple, CB, Ohio State

Kyle Fuller is a good player at one corner, but they need more help at the other. Apple has a ton of talent, but some scouts are concerned about his easy-going approach. Does he love it? Bears coordinator Vic Fangio will make sure he does.

NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah: Ronnie Stanley, OT, Notre Dame

Stanley is a Day 1 starting left tackle.

NFL Network’s Lance Zierlein: A’Shawn Robinson, DL, Alabama

Vic Fangio benefited from a physical, tone-setting defensive front in San Francisco. Robinson gets Chicago a step closer to that type of defensive line.

NFL Network’s Bucky Brooks: Reggie Ragland, LB, Alabama
