Ryan Poles Just Admitted Bears Draft Strategy Is Changing This Year — Here’s How

The Chicago Bears are in unfamiliar territory this year. They haven’t selected outside of the top 20 in the 1st round since 2011. That will change this year, as they sit at 25th overall following their successful playoff run. It’s led to plenty of speculation about what the team will do. They won’t have the benefit of a top-10 selection like in the past three years, giving them ample opportunities to land a difference-making talent. Bears general manager Ryan Poles has used a somewhat similar strategy throughout that time.
