I don't get why mine always makes Jacus a 7th rounder

A realistic, no‑nonsense board built the way Poles actually drafts.

Round 1, Pick 25 — EDGE Zion Young, Missouri
Why he’s the pick:

Poles prioritizes traits over polish; Young is the most explosive EDGE likely to be on the board.

Sweat needs a true running mate.

Even with shorter arms, his burst + bend combo is rare in this class.

Fits the Bears’ wide‑9 looks perfectly.

Role: Day 1 rotational rusher → Year 2 starter.

Round 2, Pick 57 — DT Christen Miller, Georgia
Why:

Poles LOVES SEC defensive linemen with twitch.

Bears need a long‑term 3‑tech with pass‑rush upside.

Miller has the first step to disrupt immediately and the frame to grow into a full-time starter.

Role: Early-down disruptor with real ceiling.

Round 2, Pick 60 — WR Isaiah Bond, Texas
Why:

The Bears need a true vertical separator to complement Moore + Odunze.

Bond brings elite speed and YAC juice — something the WR room lacks.

Ben Johnson’s offense thrives with a field‑tilter.

Role: WR3 with WR2 upside.

Round 3, Pick 89 — S A.J. Haulcy, LSU
Why:

One of the smartest safeties in the class.

Poles values ball production and instincts — Haulcy checks both.

Bears need a long-term answer next to Brisker.

Role: Starting free safety by midseason.

Round 4, Pick 129 — OT Austin Barber, Florida
Why:

Poles always takes a mid-round OL with starter traits.

Barber has real tackle feet and SEC experience.

With Trapilo’s injury, Chicago needs a swing tackle who can actually play.

Role: Swing tackle → potential long-term RT.

Round 7, Pick 239 — EDGE Gabe Jacas, Illinois
Why:

Poles loves local prospects late.

Jacas has size, motor, and special teams value.

Developmental EDGE who fits the Bears’ culture.

Role: Depth EDGE + special teams.

Round 7, Pick 241 — LB Uar Bernard, Utah
Why:

Poles always grabs a late LB with speed and teams value.

Bernard fits the modern off-ball profile: rangy, twitchy, clean tackler.

Role: Core special teamer.
