The Chicago Bears drafted six new players and signed 15 undrafted free agents last week to round out their 90-man roster, meaning a handful of veterans are now on the roster bubble as the team heads into their offseason activities.
General manager Ryan Pace was unable to address all of Chicago’s needs on both sides of the football, but he came into the draft not wanting to reach for a player at a position of need and went with the best player available with each of his picks.
“You have to be disciplined with that,” Pace said Saturday night, according to the Chicago Sun-Times‘ Adam Jahns. “When I’ve seen mistakes in the draft, it’s because you do that. We promised ourselves and we pride ourselves that we won’t do that.”
The addition of new talent on both sides of the football will now force some of Chicago’s veterans to work harder to maintain their roster spot next season.
“We’ll all be competing, all fight for starting jobs,” Pace said over the weekend, according to Arthur Arkush of ChicagoFootball.com.
