1. Chicago Bears: James Daniels, Kyle Long, Eric Kush, Jordan Morgan

Kyle Long should be the best guard in this division. Of course, injuries have altered that perception. Long is healthy right now, and if he can keep that over the course of the season, he will get back to being the top guard in this division without any thought.

James Daniels is a second round pick. Similarly to Ragnow, there are questions as to whether or not he will transfer to center or guard in the NFL. Still, there a plenty of positive signs that he will work out in either spot.

Still, he is in the midst of a battle with Eric Kush. Kush proved to be reliable, and while he is coming off of injury, his 2016 was better than anything Wiggins and Dahl have done in their respective careers.

Jordan Morgan is a complete project at the guard position. However, with the potential top end talent in Long, and two potential starters in Kush and Daniels they have the depth, youth, veteran and talent to bring a complete group into 2018.
