Ryan Poles Left These Holes Open… Now What?!

Ryan Poles Left These Holes Open… Now What?!

Author: The B.R.E.A.K.S Media May 1, 2026 Duration: 23:22

The Chicago Bears’ 2026 NFL Draft is over, but the roster questions are far from finished 👀🐻⬇️

Ryan Poles and Ben Johnson walked away with talent, scheme fits, and players the coaching staff clearly believes in — but did the Bears leave too many holes open?

In today’s episode of Chicago Bears Central, Haize breaks down the three biggest remaining questions after a polarizing Bears draft:

🔥 Offensive Tackle — Can the Bears trust the current left tackle options until Ozzy Trapilo is fully back?

🔥 Wide Receiver — Is Rome Odunze ready to carry the WR1 load, and can Zavion Thomas grow into a real weapon?

🔥 Defensive Line — Did Chicago make a mistake by not adding an edge rusher, or are they betting on Austin Booker, Montez Sweat, Gervon Dexter, and Jordan Van Den Berg to take the next step?

Plus, Haize reacts to Bears fan voicemails on trusting the coaching staff, Coleman Bennett potentially pushing Roschon Johnson, Jordan Van Den Berg’s upside, Austin Booker’s development, and how Dennis Allen’s defensive scheme could rely heavily on defensive back flexibility and that third linebacker role.

The Bears clearly have a vision. Now they have to prove it on the field.
