""We followed the board. To go into a draft and just start picking at your needs, hopping around the board ... that doesn't play out very well over the long haul.""
"Logan Jones could challenge Garrett Bradbury for the starting center position during training camp and has a chance to be the Week 1 starter."
"Tight end was not a high priority, but the Bears needed to add a player who could contribute as a blocker and receiver, which Sam Roush can do."
Chicago Bears GM Ryan Poles received backlash for his Day 2 NFL Draft choices after being praised for the first-round selection of Dillon Thieneman. The Bears selected Logan Jones, a center from Iowa, Sam Roush, a tight end from Stanford, and Zavion Thomas, a wide receiver from LSU. Poles defended his strategy by stating that following the draft board is crucial for long-term success, rather than simply addressing immediate needs. The selections have raised questions about their fit and priority within the team's roster.
