Ryan Poles

Yes, it's a deep draft in defensive linemen and edge rushers and what the Bears desperately need.

but i asked ryan pulls about that spot today and he kind of pointed to the idea of they never they felt really confident they had their defensive line set a year ago and the injuries took control austin booker didn't come out until he was fully healthy from the knee injury and dio denbo who they said is going to be ready for the start of training camp that's their belief and they really believe this d-line is going to come together once they get guys healthy and they want a second shot at that while continuing to add players this offseason but

one of my takeaways is that they are wide open left tackle and I think their hope is that somebody falls to them at pick twenty five where they can get a franchise left tackle there and Ryan Poole's ruling out the idea of they're not moving Joe Tooney to left tackle Darnell Wright they want him at right tackle next to Jonah Jackson they said that's off the table a year ago that was on the table to move Darnell Wright to left tackle they are sent at four out of five offensive line spots and they are wide open at left tackle

It's not a great free agent class in that position.

Braxton Jones will be one of the top guys available, and they've already kind of formally and informally parted ways with him.

I think they're hoping somebody in the draft is there for him.

I think they're perfectly comfortable as well with Theo Benedict coming back.

Maybe you take a veteran option after the draft if it doesn't completely fall your way.

But this is a very strong tackle draft, and I think their hope and desire is to get somebody there at pick 25.

You know, Ben Johnson loves Tyson Bajan.

They are wired the same way, and you can take that any way you want.

They've got a little bit of that inner demon to them where those guys are the most intense competitors you'll find out there, and Ben Johnson does not want to lose Tyson Bajan.

Now, take it back to when that contract extension was struck during training camp last year.

They weren't so sure about Caleb Williams in that moment, and obviously he came on and ascended and looked like the guy you wanted him to be.

But it was an insurance policy at the time, and your best-case scenario played out.

Caleb Williams is your guy going forward, and you got Tyson Bajan as a luxury option where consider this quarterback market is not great.

Malik Williams is your top free agent out there.

Teams would love to trade for Tyson Bajan.

So what are you looking for?

What are you willing to get for him that would make you make that deal?
