Breaking Down Alabama Edge Dallas Turner

Chicago Bears General Manager Ryan Poles has shown through his first two Drafts that with the premium rounds, he is going to select premier positions, meaning offensive line, defensive line corners, and safeties. The one position along the defensive line that he hasn't used a premium pick on is defensive end. The Bears starting defensive end duo of Yannick Ngakoue and DeMarcus Walker were acquired via veteran free agency, and only Walker has a multi-year contract, while Ngaqoue is on a one-year contract.

Just looking at that, it becomes obvious that Poles will use at least one of his premium round selections on an edge player.
