The NFL Draft is Ryan Poles' last major opportunity this offseason to answer the biggest questions on his Chicago Bears roster.

The Chicago Bears could get a bounty of NFL Draft picks by making a big trade down to a team like the Arizona Cardinals at 27 that have extra draft capital, but Ryan Poles might not want to give up the opportunity to take a Top 10 player with the ninth overall pick.

Rookie quarterbacks don't come into the kind of situation Caleb Williams will have on the Chicago Bears. But is it the best supporting cast a starting rookie quarterback has ever had?

The Chicago Bears need to be prepared for the worst case scenarios in the 2024 NFL Draft. But even if the top picks in the draft take Ryan Poles' favorite players off the board, the team will still be in position to draft a good player with the ninth overall pick.

With only four picks (right now) in the 2024 NFL Draft, Ryan Poles need to make the most out of this draft class to find foundational pieces for the Chicago Bears.
