The Chicago Bears at least managed to avoid a city-wide riot with their recent run of free agency moves, at the same time changing up their draft plans.

There can be no doubt that Mike Glennon is the quarterback for 2017, which means finding him more weaponry to work with becomes a priority. What with the exit of Alshon Jeffery making life harder. Of course the defense will also be getting plenty of attention. It’s a young unit that is building into something special if the talent flow remains consistent. How could Ryan Pace approach what is the most critical draft of his young career as GM?
