During the league meetings last month, Bears General Manager Ryan Poles suggested the team would consider players at three positions as selections with the ninth overall pick in the draft.
Wide receiver, edge rusher, and offensive tackle were those spots and the team is set to spend time with a player who fills the last of those roles. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that former Alabama tackle JC Latham is scheduled to meet with the Bears on Tuesday night and Wednesday.
Latham has also visited with the Cardinals and Titans after wrapping up a two-year run as a starter on the right side of the line for the Crimson Tide. He said earlier this year that he believes he can play on the left side as well and hopes teams will consider him at that spot.
The Bears have met with the top receivers in the draft in recent days as well and Latham's former teammate Dallas Turner is one of the edge rushers they will be getting to know before things get underway in Detroit later this month.

Weinman had to outlast the other 10,043 entrants to take home the prize and get his hands on his share of live poker’s largest ever prize pool – a staggering $93,399,900. As well as taking home the prize money, 35-year-old Weinman also got his hands on the WSOP Main Event bracelet. The huge bracelet contains 500 grams of 10-karat yellow gold, as well as 2,352 various precious gemstones.
Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
