PALM BEACH, Fla. — Bears general manager Ryan Poles might not draft a Week 1 starter with the No. 10 overall pick — and he’d be OK with that.
It’s one of the many scenarios Poles and coach Ben Johnson will examine as they prepare for the April 24 draft. They’ll weigh whether they’re drafting to make this year’s team as strong as possible or to set it up for the future. They’ll debate the value of premium positions — left tackle, defensive line, cornerback and receiver — and whether it’s possible to have too many good players at those spots.
