Whether it be via free agency (Nick Chubb, J.K. Dobbins), the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sbnation.com\/nfl-draft\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:NFL Draft;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">NFL Draft<\/a> (Ashton Jeanty, Omarion Hampton, TreVeyon Henderson, Quinshon Judkins, etc.), or via trade (Kenneth Walker, Travis Etienne, or Tyler Allgeier to name a few), fans have been wondering when Ryan Poles would add to the running back room.<\/p>\n<p>The draft didn\u2019t fall in a way where Chicago could get a back early, and their lone choice at the position was in the seventh round with Rutgers&#8217; Kyle Monangai.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Chubb signed with the Texans yesterday, and Dobbins inked a deal with the Broncos today, so the free agency options are even thinner.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s always a trade possibility, but that likely wouldn\u2019t materialize until teams are deep into training camp. If a player like Jacksonville\u2019s Etienne looks to be buried as the number three tailback, the Jags may be willing to move him.<\/p>\n<p>Seattle\u2019s Walker seems to have the most buzz from fans, but would it be wise to trade a draft pick for a running back entering the final year of his contract?<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also possible the Bears hold serve until teams cut down to 53, where there\u2019s sure to be an experienced tailback or two looking for work.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>With OTAs and minicamp over, Bears brass will have plenty of time to discuss the state of the position and to explore their options.<\/p>\n<p>So what would you do?<\/p>\n<p>Vote in our survey question and give us some specifics in the comment section, and we\u2019ll share your results in a couple of days.<\/p>\n<p>Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL.
