Poles already stated after the draft he thought he might need to trade up for Rome, but Ian told him to wait as it was playing out like they wanted. If they were prepared to trade up for Rome, why would Harrison be as you said "no chance to get him"? They got the guy they had at #2 on their board and as Poles says in the video to Warren "and we still have our 1 and 2 2s next year".

In 2 years under Poles as GM, the bears have a combined record of 10 wins and 24 losses representing a win percentage of 29%. While an argument could be made that he inherited a dumpster fire, he has not done anything YET that has translated into a winning season. Time will tell!!

@@mikelasjo6507 very true indeed. But, if anything can be said, it's about his approach to that dumpster fire and disaster this team has been for too long. He's the 1st GM to use the #1 pick since 1947. Though he passed on the 1st #1 pick he had. He seems to be putting together a team, through drafts and trades that has some longevity. Something that hasn't been seen at least in my lifetime which is 50 years. Even our 85-86 bears were 1 and done. I'm a die-hard like many. We haven't seen longevity since before the merger. The problem I see is if this season is a complete flop. Heads will roll again and we're back to square 1. At this point, it's a make the playoffs or bust season even before the draft.

Look at this. A front office that was so committed and worked as a team and meant business. Something we haven’t seen in forever. They did their part now time for the players and coaches to do their part.

my favorite Bears production ive ever seen. Ive been watching everything you guys have done for years. Im a lifelong fan, this is a brilliant production. Bear Down all! Love the in depth look and even the prayer! Best wishes everyone! This team, staff, fanbase feels different. We love our history and we should cherish it, but maybe a new vibe is exactly what we needed. So many good character dudes. Im so excited to see what happens. These parents for Rome/Caleb should be proud as hell, they raised some solid humans 🤣 Jeff Shiver "do I say im Ryan Poles" lmao
Absolutely pumped for this season. This organization just feels different from previous regimes based on the interactions I just saw. Everyone is laid back, caring, and just positive energy everywhere. There should be no doubt about what they are going to do this year. Da Bears gonna surprise people this season. Bear Down!
They were smiling so hard in that caleb interview
As a NY Giants fan, I came over to watch what the Bears had to say about Odunze and enjoyed this video. Odunze was who I was really hoping we'd take for our pick as I think he was the best option for our needs as well as having the maturity to deal with the NY/NJ media. I'm not complaining about having Nabers, as I'm sure he has lots of talent but I'm a fan of Odunze and think the Bears got a steal there just by letting the draft come to them.
As a bears fan I’m so happy we gonna be contenders for the next couple of years 💯
Felt like I was watching a bears movie well put together I watched on the bears app ❤❤ it’s only up from here forget the past baby let’s make this dynasty

God, I have chills.
Love it! My wife and I are in the video at the 15:57 mark from the draft. Go Bears! 🐻⬇️
This was just a sensational watch and I'm just blown away by how good this front office is. I'm accustomed to seeing other teams having that sort of savvy but never thought the Bears would. Ryan Poles is the savior this franchise needed. Also, the reaction from Kiran Amegadjie and his family when he got drafted, that's what this is all about...I got goosebumps watching it. Well done to the production team for putting this together. I can't wait for the season to be here already!
Cole hugged the hell out of Caleb lol
33:30 The entire behind the scenes of them taking Taylor made me really happy, then with Shives asking if he should act as Poles cracked me up 😂
