Ryan Poles Commits to Avoiding Matt Nagy's Missteps
The 2023 NFL Draft is just around the corner, and everyone is wondering what will happen. Who will be the first quarterback picked, Bryce Young or C.J. Stroud? Will Jalen Carter be a top-five pick even with his legal problems? What will the Bears do with their No. 9 pick - choose an offensive or defensive player, or trade it away?
As always, there will be surprises. Some Bears fans might have been worried when Ryan Poles became the new GM after the disappointing time with Matt Nagy. They wondered if it was a good idea to pick someone from the Chiefs again.
The Chiefs have been successful, but that doesn't mean people who leave the team will also be successful. Matt Nagy thought he could make the Bears like the Chiefs, but he was wrong. However, Poles knows this and won't try to copy the Chiefs exactly. He talked to Colleen Kane from the Chicago Tribune and said he needs to use different methods for the Bears.
In his first NFL draft last year, Poles surprised fans by picking defensive players Kyler Gordon and Jaquan Brisker. He knows that to make the Bears successful, he needs different players, coaches, and ideas.
The Chiefs and the Rams, the last two Super Bowl winners, show that there are different ways to win. The Chiefs built their team with good drafting and smart choices, while the Rams made bold trades and had a mix of stars and young, cheaper players.
Poles wants to build the Bears using the draft, which has worked for the team in the past. The big question is if the fans will be patient enough to let him try. Being a GM for a big team means staying calm under pressure, and Poles seems ready for the challenge.
