Ryan Poles Runs Victory Lap with Bears’ New Receiving Corps

The Bears GM raved about the new wide receiver room consisting of DJ Moore, Chase Claypool, and Darnell Mooney.

For the first time since trading the first overall pick , Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Poles met the media. During Monday’s session, Poles took a mini victory lap following a fruitful start to the offseason.

Specifically, he focused on the position group that was the Bears’ biggest need this offseason — wide receivers. In 2022, Justin Fields had scarce options to throw to, especially on deep balls.

Now, the Bears have one of the youngest and most talented wide receiver groups in the NFL. Poles spoke to each player’s strengths in his evaluation of the group.

As Poles explained, the members of the group complement each other well due to their diverse skill sets. This will help make it difficult for defenses to match up with the Bears’ receivers, which will give Fields an embarrassment of riches compared to last season. Beyond the names mentioned above, the Bears need to develop the likes of Velus Jones Jr. and Equanimeous St. Brown into competent depth pieces.

Throughout the rest of the offseason, Ryan Poles must focus on the offensive line. Whether the Bears address the position group via the draft or by using some of their remaining salary cap space, the offensive front requires improvement. Having top wide receiver talent means nothing if Fields is always on his back.
