Well they have shown that they can handle losing... not sure that's a real benefit though.....

Former Texans’ free-agent defensive lineman Rasheem Green is a signing a one-year deal with the Bears, per source.

 25 years old. Poles kind of number. 3rd round pick for Texans. 10 sacks last 2 seasons.

I think it really depends on who is there at 9.  What could really help us is Richardson and Levis go in the top 8.  Anderson will be gone.  So what if the receiver from Ohio State, Robinson out of Texas, and Carter for Georgia are all there at 9, along with the two offensive tackles?  Then what?

Not going to lie, I won't hate Robinson at 9.

Is it harder to find a LT or a dominant DT? This is the dilemma....which to choose....

Assuming Poles has done his homework on Carter - then he's probably the guy.  At that point you have to get a quality RT.   Not sure any will be there at 53.   You trade the lower 2nd rounder (61) and the 3rd rounder (64) and get into the top of R2.  You still have #53 to get an edge.

If Carter's gone and if the Bears are content with the duo of Herbert/Foreman, then you trade down from 9 and you should be able to pick up one of the better OTs and you have the two 2's and the 3rd rounder AND whatever you got in the trade down to go after a couple d-lineman, corner and a center.

If the Bears take Robinson, then they better be signing some of those FAs that are waiting until the draft is over for teams like the Bears that have cap and have needs for starting quality lineman.  They'll still have picks 53, 61 and 63 to  fill holes but there's supposedly a talent drop off in the mid 2nd.

Wilson @ 9? Hmmm.
