Last week, I wrote about the “other” quarterbacks in the upcoming draft – the ones that may be options in later rounds if the Chicago Bears went in a different direction in the early rounds.
But there’s a chance the Bears will target a quarterback in the first round. After all, getting a young QB of the future is a massive priority for this team, and there are many routes Chicago can take to achieve that goal. They can either take one with the third overall pick that they currently own, trade down from the third spot and pick one at a better “value” spot, or try to trade back into the first round after going with another player with their first pick. Although there are rumors that one of the QB prospects could drop to the second round, I have a feeling that there will be enough desperate teams to trigger a run on all of the signal-callers in the first round itself.
If the Bears are set on taking their future field general early, their targets will be one of the following “top” guys that have been scouted, analyzed, debated, picked apart and put back together again for months now. There is no consensus on who the best prospect is out of Mitchell Trubisky, Deshaun Watson, Patrick Mahomes, and DeShone Kizer. Experts agree that they’re the Top 4 in “some” order, but ask five different experts, and each one will give you a different opinion of how the QBs rank. It’s that kind of draft.
But what do we know about these guys? Let’s explore.
