Opposing GM Sees Bears Doing This With #3 Pick In The Draft

-

Nobody needs to be told how important this 2017 off-season is for the Chicago Bears. They’re coming off their worst season in 47 years. A 3-13 slog through the muddy swamps of depression this team has become over the past decade since their flirtation with glory in Super Bowl XLI. Since then every major move they’ve tried only seemed to hasten the collapse.

A new regime has decided to try a more measured and precise approach. GM Ryan Pace has never once looked like a man getting ahead of himself. His focus has remained on acquiring talent for the roster and trust his veteran coaching staff to keep developing it. Thus far only poor luck with injuries has clouded what looks like an exciting, young group.

The time has come for what should be their biggest push. Salary cap space is higher than its been in years. Perhaps most important is the ownership they have of the #3 overall pick in the upcoming draft. The highest they’ve sat since 1972. Experts keep debating what the Bears might do with it. So what about somebody who understands their situation better than most?
