NFL Draft was the first with Bears general manager Ryan Poles and new head coach Ben Johnson working side by side, and it was clear that Johnson’s voice played a prominent role in the team’s decisions.

Ryan Poles' refusal to budge from his grades and cave to need had full support from Ben Johnson, and the Bears coach is certain he'll make use of the talent.

The first draft of the Johnson era featured more playmakers on offense and guys with an "edge" to help the Bears build success.
