GM Ryan Poles said after the combine that the Chicago Bears would dedicate their focus to figuring out what they’d do with the #9 pick after selecting a quarterback at #1 overall. Scouts and coaches would be divided into three groups. Each would be assigned a specific position and have to argue the merits of drafting it at the 9th spot. This would help give the team clarity on where their focus should be. One group would argue wide receivers, another offensive tackles, and the last would handle pass rushers.
