4. DO: Draft a quarterback in later rounds
Pace once said that he believed it was a good idea to add a quarterback every year. While he’s already done that by trading for Nick Foles, there are questions about Chicago’s quarterback situation beyond 2020. And the Bears should certainly target a quarterback in this draft.
If Mitchell Trubisky winds up being the guy, they’d likely extend him. If Nick Foles is the guy, they figure to lock him up long-term. But there’s a scenario where both Trubisky and Foles won’t be on the Bears roster beyond 2020 — if they let Trubisky walk and Foles opts out of his contract to hit free agency — which would leave Chicago without a quarterback in 2021.
Still, it would be a good idea for the Bears to explore drafting a developmental prospect in the later rounds. Guys like Washington State’s Anthony Morgan, Hawaii’s Cole McDonald or Florida International’s James Morgan would be worth a glance.
