Does 'The Board' know what's best for the Chicago Bears? Let's hope so

“We talk,” Bears GM Ryan Poles said after the first round of the NFL Draft, “about the board talking to you.”I believe Poles is speaking metaphorically, but the Chicago Bears worship “The Board” like their fans worship Ben Johnson, so I can’t be sure.I don’t know if they’re actually hearing voices as they stare at a bunch of names, but the Bears front office certainly seemed wedded to their own view of reality throughout the three-day draft because they eschewed obvious needs and made a couple of curious choices.Advertisement
