LAKE FOREST, Ill. – It has been 33 years since the Chicago Bears have had this much draft capital this early in the draft.
In 1990, the top half of the Bears’ draft produced safety Mark Carrier (No. 6 overall), who went on to win the Defensive Rookie of the Year Award, and linebacker Ron Cox (No.33), who played 97 games in Chicago. That year, Chicago selected five players within the top 63 picks.
Ryan Poles aims to add similar cornerstone players during his second draft as Bears general manager with picks at Nos. 9, 53, 61 and 64.
