The Bears have spent months studying the draft.
They’ll spend the next one plotting what could happen.
General manager Ryan Poles plans to break his staff into various teams over the next few weeks as the Bears prepare to draft four times in late April. Their goal — to determine what position would have the most impact when they draft ninth overall.
The Bears hold the No. 1 overall pick and are expected to draft USC quarterback Caleb Williams first. They also have the 11th pick of the third round and the 22nd pick of the fourth round.
