Under past management this has been true.
Think about this Sporty ... could we like see Roquan Smith back here soon ?
Like next year ?
You're right every GM has to be judged independently. But right now Poles draft is so-so. Would our top 2 picks Brisker and Gordon make an all-rookie team? Braxton Jones and the punter Gill have better odds.
As for Smith, Ravens could re-sign him or just tag him or let him loose in free agency and get a 3rd round comp pick in '24. Not sure that he would want to come back to the Bears unless they showed him some love.
