Bears GM Ryan Poles has his own ideas of what an offensive lineman should look like in Chicago but BryanPerezNFL says Minnesota's Daniel Faalele may be the exception to Poles' rules. FrontOffice33 | BearDown
Chicago Bears General Manager Ryan Poles outlined his vision for the offensive line early in his tenure as the team’s top decision-maker. He wants the Bears’ linemen to be more athletic; he wants them to be lighter and quicker and he went as far as to say he even wants different body types than what was on display in 2021. But, sometimes, there are exceptions to every rule.
Jenkins and Faalele would instantly become the most intimidating pair of starting offensive tackles in the NFL, but intimidation only lasts if the on-field play matches it. We still don’t know if Jenkins will live up to his pre-draft billing as a bully, but there were promising moments during his rookie season that he’ll be that guy. Faalele isn’t as nasty as Jenkins, but who cares? He’d be the closest thing the NFL has ever seen to Andre the Giant in pads.
The only chance the Bears will have at landing Faalele in the NFL draft is if they use one of their second-rounders on him. I don’t think they’d value his physical makeup highly enough to use the 39th selection on him, but at No. 48? Assuming Poles doesn’t sign a veteran offensive tackle before draft weekend, Faalele would make sense, even if his athletic profile runs counter to what Poles said he prefers.
