Initial Post-Draft Depth Chart for the Chicago Bears

The draft is in the books and the Bears can look ahead to their offseason program. Rookie mini-camps, OTAs and eventually training camp are now on the radar. 

Adding eight players to the roster certainly fills some holes and will provide some interesting battles on the depth chart. Can Kyle Fuller start and make an impact right away? What about Brock Vereen? Can he push Chris Conte for a starting role?

This is the initial depth chart fresh off the draft. Keep in mind this will change a ton of times before the start of the season. Expect some of these rookies to move up quickly and some veterans to find themselves fighting for a roster spot.
