The NFL draft is three weeks away. As general manager Ryan Poles and the Chicago Bears cross the bridge from free agency to the draft, here’s the inside slant on three notable storylines.
to that room in free agency. At this point, adding another back to the mix would seem to be a luxury acquisition at a time when the Bears need to be addressing needs.NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah also doesn’t find it worthwhile for a team that is miles from championship contention to use a first-round pick on a running back, even one as special as Robinson.
Robinson, on the other hand, is lauded as having an extremely high NFL floor with very little risk attached. Put it this way: If — or more likely when — Robinson becomes the highest-drafted running back since Barkley, no one in the league will laugh.

The NFL’s free-agency negotiation window had been open for barely 90 minutes last month when Javon Hargrave got the offer he couldn’t refuse. Value is value, Poles reasoned.

“We have to realize when it’s not OK to go three-and-out. We have to act that way,” Claypool said. “If we go three-and-out, it can’t just be OK. And it isn’t. But we have to really have that fire and energy and realize that, yo, it’s time to go.” Most significantly, is there a composure issue the Bears will have to continue working on with Claypool, helping him strengthen his emotional equilibrium in a way that will help him and the team navigate the many bumpy patches within a season?[Don’t miss] New Chicago Bears TE Robert Tonyan on switching sides in the rivalry with the Green Bay Packers: ‘I know I made the right decision’All of those questions carry renewed relevance this month as the NFL draft approaches and the chip the Bears...
