🐻 The Chicago Bears Podcast | Full NFL Draft Reaction

Hosted by Pat The Designer & Shea Norling

Brought to you by The Advantage Dealer Group & The Hard Rock Casino Northern Indiana

The Chicago Bears’ NFL Draft is complete, and Pat & Shea break down everything — the good, the bad, and the confusing.

The biggest question: how did the Bears not address edge rusher? The guys dive into why that decision is so puzzling and what it means for the defense moving forward.

They also discuss a growing narrative — are the Bears’ roster decisions now more Ben Johnson’s than Ryan Poles’? Plus, they take a hard look at Poles’ process, whether it should be questioned, and why the roster may be better… but expectations shouldn’t necessarily be higher.

And when in doubt — should Bears fans just trust Ben Johnson?
