A core part of drafting successfully in the NFL is finding value. Put another way, it means adding players at a later pick who probably should’ve gone much earlier. It happens every year. The better teams always seem able to take advantage of players who fall further than they should. It felt like the Chicago Bears couldn’t take advantage of this for the longest time due to poor evaluations and team-building strategies. It appears that the process has finally changed under GM Ryan Poles.
He has reiterated time and again since taking over that his goal in every draft is to stick to the board. That means taking the best players, even if they might not be at positions of glaring need. Last week might’ve been the best example yet of this approach. Nobody considered tight end a big concern going into the 1st round. That didn’t stop the Bears
