Ryan Poles

by the head coach of the gm about how these were struck in that meeting here at the nfl combine how it was such a strong impression of ryan pulls the importance of building a team the right way building guys with character who love football this is where you truly turn over the stones and figure out is this somebody who can be part of a barding culture that was part of this breakthrough season so uh... it it really sets up well from a town standpoint work even a big twenty five years so happy to be there is opposed to take into the top five or top ten again

you're going to get some talented players following your way.

And this is a draft that stacks up when you talk about tackle, you talk about defensive linemen.

You've got a lot of talent.

Somebody's going to be there for you at pick 25.

You're not sitting there taking whatever scraps you can find.

This is a deep draft.

It's a talented draft, and it sets up well for where the Bears want to go.

I love the way Ryan Poles answered that question.

He said what we knew about his relationship with Ian Cunningham, and they were setting each other up.

There was a scenario in which Ian Cunningham got a GM job before Ryan Poles a few years back, and Ryan Poles is his assistant general manager, and it's Ian propping him up.

Those two are so close.

I love the fact that they had...

That brotherhood and that connection where they were able to fight for each other.

But Ryan Pulse pivoted and said, look, we're talking to the league about this.

This is not settled.

He was asked directly, is this something where you think you're understanding you're not getting that big?

He said no.

So it's still on the table.

Look toward March 11th, the start of the league new year.
