Once again the Chicago Bears were well-represented at the pro day of a prominent QB in this 2017 NFL draft. First it was Deshaun Watson and then Mitch Trubisky. Odds are it will be the same for every other major quarterback in the class. Rumors persist that the Bears have every intention of considering one in the early rounds.
The lingering question is how early? Most have already assumed with the signing of Mike Glennon that the first round is out of the question. He’s already been proclaimed the starter by GM Ryan Pace. What’s the point right? Of course not. For one Glennon’s contract indicates he’s a year-to-year experiment at most. For another, they only have two QBs on the depth chart.
Even so, the arguments rage on whether they will (or should) take a quarterback with the #3 overall pick. Wouldn’t it be smart to just take the best player available and get one in the second round? Often in such cases it’s best to examine the numbers. The results, per usual, were quite staggering.
