With this year's Combine now in the books, a few NFL analysts have updated their mock drafts. Here's who they think the Bears will select with the 11th overall pick:
Matt Miller, Bleacher Report
Pick: Darron Lee, Ohio State inside linebacker
Analysis: "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.
"There's a precedent here given Fangio's love for athletic inside linebackers Patrick Willis and NaVorro Bowman when he ran the defense in San Francisco. Lee, while not as instinctive as either Willis or Bowman, has the speed to run with tight ends, the pass-rush skills to crash the A-gaps and the toughness to track down the ball in the run game.
"The rebuilding project in Chicago will take two or three draft classes to complete, but adding Lee next to Christian Jones on the inside of the defense helps the cause."

Pick: Ohio State cornerback Eli Apple
Analysis: "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."
Rob Rang, CBS Sports
Pick: Alabama inside linebacker Reggie Ragland
Analysis: "The Bears made strides defensively in the first year under coach John Fox and coordinator Vic Fangio, but this remains a largely toothless defense. Ragland won't be viewed by everyone as a great value this early, but his instincts, physicality and ability to rush make him an ideal fit in the Bears' 3-4 base defense."
Nate Davis, USA Today
Pick: Oregon defensive end DeForest Buckner
Analysis: "Good chance he doesn't last this long. But if he's available, Buckner is an ideal fit for the 3-4 defense that began taking root in Chicago last season. Strong in all phases of the game, his 6-7 frame should swat down plenty of passes when he can't get to a quarterback."
