The Bears have made their rebuilding plans perfectly clear over the last few weeks, with both Roquan Smith and Robert Quinn having been traded.
These moves obviously mark a big blow to Chicago’s defense in the short run, but given the draft capital they received and the financial freedom they’ll have going forward, Ryan Poles will have plenty of chances to build a roster in his image.
With more draft capital comes more chances to break down 2023 NFL Draft prospects, which makes me quite happy. I’m a sucker for literally anything draft-related, so while trading Quinn and Smith were difficult for me in that I like both players, I appreciate the opportunity to build through the draft.
