## Resource

🐻 The Chicago Bears Podcast | LIVE from Halas Hall Hosted by Pat The Designer & ESPN’s Courtney Cronin Brought to you by The Advantage Dealer Group Pat and Courtney are LIVE from Halas Hall reacting to GM Ryan Poles’ pre-draft press conference just days before the NFL Draft. What did Poles reveal — and what should Bears fans take seriously? The crew breaks down Poles’ comments on a potential contract extension for RT Darnell Wright, why the center position appears to be a major draft priority, and how the Bears currently view the safety position — which may not be as big of a focus as expected. They also look ahead to the big picture: which roster holes might still be left unfilled after the NFL Draft, and what that means for the Bears’ offseason strategy moving forward. 👇 Episode Timestamps: 00:00:00 – Ryan Poles on a possible extension for Darnell Wright 00:09:00 – Center position becomes a clear draft priority 00:13:00 – Bears’ perspective on safety (not a major focus?) 00:18:00 – What holes will remain after the NFL Draft? 🎧 Subscribe for daily Chicago Bears draft coverage, insider reporting & offseason analysis from ESPN Chicago! 📱 Follow for more: #ChicagoBears #BearsPodcast #ESPNChicago #NFLDraft #RyanPoles #DarnellWright #HalasHall #BearDown
