One thing we’ve learned over the past calendar year is that GM Ryan Poles might be pretty good at his job. It started manifesting when he swung the trade with Carolina for the #1 overall pick in 2023, securing what became D.J. Moore, Darnell Wright, Tyrique Stevenson, Caleb Williams, and a 2nd round pick in 2025. Moore is already a star. Wright and Stevenson had good rookie seasons. Williams is widely considered the best QB to come out of college in years. It feels like Poles has put the Chicago Bears into the ideal situation.
