Ranking the Bears’ general manager candidates

The Bears have a diverse group of candidates for their general manager vacancy. We’re ranking them here:

The Chicago Bears are searching for a new general manager after parting ways with Ryan Pace last week, and there’s been no shortage of intriguing candidates to replace him.

The Bears requested to interview 15 candidates for GM, and there are still four candidates yet to interview before the organization finalizes their list. And it’s certainly a diverse group, which includes stars on the rise and former GMs.

Ed Dodds interviewed with the Bears earlier this week, and he’s since taken his name out of the running, which leaves Chicago with 14 confirmed candidates.

While it’s difficult to rank the current crop of candidates, I’m ranking them based on my preference and qualification.
