Bears' Offseason: Drafting Studs, Protecting Williams

0:00On March 31st, Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson is soaking up the spotlight after leading the team to a stunning turnaround season. The guys are rock star now, and General Manager Ryan Poles is all in on rebuilding the defense through the draft to match Johnson's vision. Earlier this week at the NFL meetings, Johnson brought down how rookie quarterback Caleb Williams and the pass catchers need sharper routes, better, timing, and cleaner catches to level up. He's also eyeing quarterback Kobe Bryant to bring elite defensive smarts to the secondary. Rams coach Sean McVeigh called Williams a stud for his late game magic, while questions linger on the Bears' offensive line stability. Poles is in regretting the trade that landed wide receiver DJ Moore, even as the bills still see him as top tier. Johnson left the door open for drafting a left tackle to protect Williams' long term, and Poles plans to target defensive studs early. Mod drafts are buzzing with big bodies for Chicago to fill roster gaps.
