Besides this year's first-rounder, Chicago also owns one pick each in the second, third, fifth and seventh rounds as well as two apiece in the fourth and sixth.

SO FAR: The Bears addressed weaknesses at inside linebacker by signing Danny Trevathan from Super Bowl champion Denver, and former Indianapolis Colts player Jerrell Freeman. Chicago also signed former Arizona Cardinals right tackle Bobby Massie, clearing way for Kyle Long to move back to right guard.

GAINING AN EDGE: The Bears need speed on the edge, and McShay believes Georgia outside linebacker Leonard Floyd would be the right player if he's available at No. 11.

"I think he'd be a perfect fit for what Chicago's looking for in terms of a versatile linebacker that can be that outside linebacker but also can play some off the ball," McShay said. "He can drop into coverage on occasion. But what Floyd does best is rush the passer off the edge. Great initial burst. The ability to bend around the edge."

That's something the Bears lacked last season, and McShay thinks he might be a more productive player in the NFL than he was in college. The 6-foot-6, 244-pound Floyd led the Bulldogs in sacks for the third straight year with 4 1/2 and tied for the team lead with 10 1/2 tackles for loss last season.
