How D.J. Moore, other additions fit into Bears offense and help Justin Fields

New York Times  

LAKE FOREST, Ill. — The temptation to wait teams out longer in conversations and to potentially get more in a trade for the first pick in the NFL Draft didn’t take hold of Bears general manager Ryan Poles. “Sometimes you wait too long and things move on,” Poles said at Halas Hall on Thursday, a day after the blockbuster trade became official in the NFL’s new league year. Poles — who also added former Packers tight end Robert Tonyan with a one-year deal later Thursday — said he sees a receiver who “can create separation and make big plays.’” “I think this league shows you good teams have guys that make big plays in big moments,” Poles continued. New Bears guard Nate Davis says he’s “a great teammate first of all.” In Davis, Poles sees the Bears getting a “young guy that can get moving at the point and really good in pass protection.” Davis said that he played left guard in the past, but those snaps last came in a game for Charlotte in college. That’s why they want me and that’s why I’m here because they believe in me.” GO DEEPER Jahns: Bears draft thoughts after the first wave of free agency Depth, protection and more Poles was reminded running back Travis Homer was “a guy I’ve loved since college” in the Bears’ second preseason game last year in Seattle.
