LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) — When it comes to choosing a direction in the NFL draft, the Chicago Bears have some flexibility. And if they can replicate last year's success, they'll really be in good shape.
“We feel prepared. We put in the time,” general manager Ryan Poles said on Tuesday. “When we’re on the clock, I’ve got a ton of confidence things are going to work out just the way we planned them to be.
If things start to shift and move, we’re agile enough to make adjustments if that’s moving up, moving back, we’ll be ready for anything that comes our way. ” The Bears have seven picks in the draft, starting at No. 25 on Thursday, as they try to build on a breakthrough season.
