5. Quarterback
If there was ever a time for Ryan Pace to make good on his promise to draft a quarterback every year, this is the time. He’s finally owned up to his mistake in drafting Mitchell Trubisky No. 2 overall, by bringing in competition in the form of Nick Foles. But there’s a good chance that both of those guys won’t be on the roster in 2021, so Pace needs to make sure he’s got someone waiting in the wings. Someone that can develop behind the likes of Trubisky and Foles.
While names like Georgia’s Jake Fromm and Washington’s Jacob Eason figure to be off the board by time the fifth round rolls by, there are some other developmental prospects that should be available by the time Chicago’s final five picks roll around, including Florida International’s James Morgan, Washington State’s Anthony Gordon and Hawaii’s Cole McDonald.
