Bears general manager Ryan Poles’ approach to free agency — patient, prudent or perhaps overcautious — surprisingly left the Bears with three major holes in their rebuild: offensive tackle, defensive end and three-technique defensive tackle.
They can only address one of those with the No. 9 pick in the NFL Draft on April 27. That puts a little more pressure on Poles to find Day 1 starters or contributors at key positions in the second round.
