As much as general manager Ryan Poles would like it to be true, the Bears’ choices in the upcoming draft aren’t totally wide open. Despite his free agency haul of offensive and defensive linemen, the roster still has obvious needs.
They should use their three picks in the first two rounds of the draft — Nos. 10, 39 and 41 — with just as much precision as they spent their salary-cap dollars.
The Bears might spin this differently leading up to the draft, but they weren’t happy with left tackle Braxton Jones’ play last season before it ended when he broke his ankle, and he’s still their starter.
