The Chicago Bears were a very interesting team to follow in the 2013 NFL Draft with a number of needs and the excitement continued to build as a number of top-tier players were sliding down the draft board. Bears new head coach Marc Trestman is a brilliant offensive mind, but how would he approach the draft? We got our answers tonight.

Trestman did go offense, but it wasn’t a skill position player like many expected. The Bears decided to selected offensive guard Kyle Long with their first round pick.

Long is a very athletic offensive lineman who will fit in with Trestman’s offense, much like Lane Johnson was a fit in Chip Kelly’s high paced attack.

1. Kansas City Chiefs — Eric Fisher, offensive tackle, Central Michigan
2. Jacksonville Jaguars — Luke Joeckel, offensive tackle, Texas A&M
