It makes some good points. Poles has invested in the OL these past 2 off seasons, including drafting Wright in the 1st round in '23.

Chicago Bears GM makes strong statement about what he thinks of the offensive line
The Bears added plenty of depth to the offensive line this offseason. The Bears signed interior offensive linemen Matt Pryor, Ryan Bates, Coleman Shelton, and Bill Murray in free agency. They drafted Kiran Amegadjie in the third round of April’s draft. Poles has high praise for the newcomers. During his press conference on Wednesday, Poles said he’s comfortable with the offensive line. “I actually let one of the guys go on cut-downs and I was like, ‘Man, you did an excellent job. I wish we could keep you here,'” Poles said, via the Bears’ website. “He said, ‘This is the deepest room I’ve ever been a part of.’ So we have more versatility, more depth. Shoot, we have 10 guys, so I feel comfortable. Obviously, you want your starting five to be healthy and ready to go, but I feel more confident in the depth of our offensive line than I ever have before.” One can’t argue with Poles’ assessment of depth. The Bears have players they can plug in when injuries happen this season. However, there are still worries about the talent of the starting five.
