Former Bears Coach Drops Major Hint About Dennis Allen’s Likely 1st Round Target

Unless the Chicago Bears plan to draft a left tackle in the 1st round this year, it will be the Dennis Allen show on the first night of the draft this April. The team has not selected a defensive player in the 1st round since Roquan Smith in 2018. They are long overdue to change that. Left tackles are almost always gone by the end of the 1st round, so the odds are far higher that GM Ryan Poles will be looking for somebody the defensive coordinator covets. Former Bears coach Clint Hurtt has a pretty good idea of who that will be.
