The Chicago Bears know the situation. They have to make sure this 2017 NFL draft goes well, or at least doesn’t get flubbed. Not after last season.
GM Ryan Pace may have the backing of the McCaskey family, but he’s not stupid. The clock is still ticking. His first two seasons in charge were marked by just nine total wins. Of course he inherited an old and broken down roster. Still, in this modern league results are expected by the third year. Results he vowed to produce. After an underwhelming free agency period, it feels like everything has come down to this draft. If the Bears are going to win, he has to nail it.
