3 positions Chicago Bears must address on day three of 2023 NFL draft

1. Will the Chicago Bears continue to add to the tackle room?

Something about the way Ryan Poles operated last year tells me that the team is not done adding tackles in this draft. As the Chicago Bears currently stand they have Darnell Wright and Braxton Jones starting at tackle. However, beyond that is Alex Leatherwood, who was benched after about 10 snaps, and then Larry Borom, who we know the team does not want to start. It may complete the overhaul if the team adds another tackle into the mix.

Ryan Poles said that Braxton Jones did a good job, but should always be competing to start, and did not hand him the starting spot. That could be because a new name is coming into compete with him.

What may also intrigue the Chicago Bears to go with a tackle at this point is that most day-three tackles are swing players who may end up as guards. The Chicago Beas should take a tackle, let him try, and if he fails, they have depth along the interior moving forward. The team should never be satisfied at tackle, and they should not think that Borom is acceptable if anything happens to their starters. The Chicago Bears should add a tackle, and if that tackle can play multiple spots, it should only increase the chances that the team drafts him.

We know that Ryan Poles is committed to the trenches, but now we find out just how committed he is.
