## Resource

🐻 The Chicago Bears Podcast | Draft Reaction & What’s Next Hosted by Pat The Designer & ESPN Chicago’s John “Jurko” Jurkovic The Chicago Bears draft is in the books, and Pat & Jurko break down their full reaction to Ryan Poles’ decisions — plus what it means for the roster moving forward. With key holes still unfilled, the guys debate who will need to step up, including a deep dive into Austin Booker’s ceiling and whether he can realistically become the Bears’ answer at edge rusher. They also play a one-choice game: if you could add ONE pass rusher from NFL Free Agency, who are you picking? And in honor of the Bears drafting Dillon Thieneman, the episode wraps with a look at the best safeties in Chicago Bears history. 👇 Episode Timestamps: 00:00:00 – Jurko’s reaction to the Bears draft & Ryan Poles’ approach 00:08:00 – Austin Booker’s ceiling: future edge solution? 00:13:00 – If you could pick ONE free agent pass rusher… 00:18:00 – Best Bears safeties of all time (Thieneman pick reaction) 🎧 Subscribe for daily Chicago Bears draft reactions, roster debates & insider analysis from ESPN Chicago! 📱 Follow for more: #ChicagoBears #BearsPodcast #ESPNChicago #NFLDraft #RyanPoles #AustinBooker #DillonThieneman #BearDown
