INDIANAPOLIS — As Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Poles wrapped up a Tuesday morning news conference in a JW Marriott hallway, he described what lay ahead for him during a hectic NFL combine week as “a bit of a dream.”
The Bears own the No. 1 pick in the NFL draft, leaving Poles with a wealth of possibilities to better his team. This week is all about collecting information to zero in on the best option through prospect interviews, on-field tests and conversations with other teams that might send a considerable haul to the Bears to acquire the top pick.
Poles said he’s trying to stay level through it all as the Bears embark on a huge couple of months.
