Da Bears addressed some holes they had by selecting 2 offensive linemen, 2 linebackers, a defensive linemen, and a speedy wide receiver. This created some needed competition as well as an infusion of young talent needed to keep up with other teams in the NFC. Check out the baddass post==>

Let’s take a look at the 5 new additions.
Kyle Long out of Oregon.

The offensive guard, and son of Hall of Fame defensive end Howie Long. Kyle only had 4 major starts but Long tested extremely well at the NFL scouting combine and showcased his talent at the Senior Bowl in front of the entire league. He has the size (6-foot-6, 313 pounds) plus athletic ability needed to pull, work to the second level of the defense and move laterally in space at the offensive guard position in Marc Trestman's offense. The pro scouts I talked to focused on his physical nature, talent and raw athleticism that can also transition to the outside at offensive tackle.
Jon Bostic out of Florida.

Jon Bostic, brings SEC talent, 4.6 speed in the 40 and the versatility to play the middle or strong side linebacker positions. A scout described him to me as a "run and hit" guy who needs to play with more consistency and improve his ability to stack and shed (defeat blocks), but the impact plays are there.
Khaseem Greene out of Rutgers.

Greene was a very productive college player and is suited best to play on the weak side. But he also could align at multiple spots. And with any rookie in the back seven on defense, we should expect Greene to be a core special teams player (all four units) as he learns the pro game behind Lance Briggs.
Jordan Mills from Louisiana Tech.

Mills has size and projects at both right tackle and guard in the NFL.
Why is that important? This creates competition during camp and allows the rookie to push veterans J'Marcus Webb and Jonathan Scott at right tackle. It's time for the Bears to have some positional battles with roster spots (and paychecks) on the line. That's how you begin to build a offensive front.
Cornelius Washington out of Georgia.

Washington could play as an outside linebacker in the 3-4 front, but will have his hand on the ground as a rush end in Mel Tucker's 4-3 scheme. He had limited production in college, but with a 4.56 40 time at 6-foot-4, 265 pounds, this is the type of prospect you want to look at in the back end of the draft.
Marquess Wilson out of Washington State.

The 6-foot-4 receiver with 4.51 speed was suspended from the Washington State program last season after posting some productive numbers earlier in his career. He's a prospect who needs to develop his body, but is a minimal risk in the last round of the draft.
The Bears addressed some major needs on the offensive line and at linebacker. I don't know how these prospects will transition once they matchup against pro ball players, but Emery's goal was clear: Get younger, faster and more athletic while continuing to build with prospects who can play versatile roles on this roster.
