Bears general manager Ryan Poles says he knows 'what we're going to do' with the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL, but 'everyone's got to tune in on Thursday.'
Bears general manager Ryan Poles says they know who they are taking with the top pick, but he won't release the name. Courtney Cronin joined ESPN in 2017, originally covering the Minnesota Vikings before switching to the Chicago Bears in 2022. Courtney is a frequent panelist on Around the Horn and host of Best Week Ever on ESPN Radio. She also co-hosts The Chicago Bears Podcast on ESPN 1000. She previously worked at the San Jose Mercury News as a multimedia sports journalist.
"That part, getting him with some of our players -- that's important to us," Poles said."We're in a really good place with our culture in our locker room. As much as I can, I want those guys a part of the process of building this team. I trust their feedback and I think that chemistry is really important, so that's why we did that."
"Really intelligent guy," Poles said."Came across as a really good teammate, easy to talk to, down to earth. We've talked through this process about the whole Hollywood thing. He's all ball, wants to work, wants to get better, wants to win as a team. That's the No. 1 thing for him on top of being successful. I think the biggest thing is, does he fit in our culture and what we're trying to do? All signs were that he does, so that was positive.
