2. Chicago Bears could draft anything on the Offensive Line

Ryan Poles has not made his stance clear on Teven Jenkins and Larry Borom yet. He wants both of them to compete and has not ruled out a switch to guard for either at this point. With that in mind, it does give Poles the flexibility to let the offensive line situation come to him.

If the top lineman on his board is a left tackle, he likely would have Teven Jenkins on the right side. If the top lineman on his board is a right tackle, he could have Jenkins on the left, or at guard. Perhaps he has to take a guard with his top pick, they have a need on the right side.

Even a center is not off of the board because Lucas Patrick has not earned anything, and even Patric could move to guard if the team believed that much in their next center. The versatility does help Poles as he starts to build his offensive line.

The lineman he takes should be telling into how he sees the other players that he did not inherit. Still, no matter what, they have a need on the line, and we will see someone drafted. The question becomes when, and what position, because both of those are up for debate.
