Ryan Pace was still helping the Bears during the 2024 draft

Since Ryan Poles succeeded Ryan Pace as general manager, the Chicago Bears have undergone a remarkable transformation. While Pace's steadfastness was commendable, his strategy ultimately fell short. Now, with Poles at the helm, the franchise appears to be on the right track, poised for playoff contention after just three offseasons.

Meanwhile, Pace has found a new role in the Atlanta Falcons' front office as director of player personnel since 2022. Despite his departure, he managed to impact his former team during the 2024 NFL draft. With the opportunity to draft wide receiver Rome Odunze at eighth overall, the Falcons surprised many by selecting Washington quarterback Michael Penix Jr. instead, a decision that puzzled observers.

This unexpected move worked in favor of the Bears, who seized the chance to draft Odunze at ninth overall. While it's uncertain how this will affect both teams in the long run, it's clear that the Falcons inadvertently aided the Bears, potentially giving Pace some recognition for the outcome."
