We’re roughly two months into the Bears offseason, and the main topic of conversation has revolved around the quarterback situation. And rightfully so.
Mitchell Trubisky is entering his fourth season with Chicago, and the Bears haven’t gotten the results they were expecting. While the entire Bears offense struggled in 2019, Trubisky was a big reason why. Trubisky regressed mightily in his third season, and his future has been called into question.
While many mock drafts have had the Bears targeting other position groups of need like tight end, offensive line and defensive back, Bleacher Report warns that the Bears shouldn’t ignore the quarterback position in the 2020 NFL Draft.
The Chicago Bears do not have a first-round selection because of their trade to acquire Khalil Mack. Therefore, it may be hard to land a quarterback who could challenge Mitchell Trubisky for the starting job. However, the Bears should still consider a signal-caller if the opportunity to get one presents itself.
If Chicago believes a second-round prospect such as Georgia’s Jake Fromm can upgrade the position, it has to make the pick. Sticking by Trubisky would be a big mistake.
While you figure the Bears will be interested in drafting a young quarterback, exactly which round remains to be seen. If the Bears decide to use one of their second round picks on a young signal caller, they could possibly target players like Utah State’s Jordan Love, Georgia’s Jake Fromm or Washington’s Jacob Eason.
Chicago could also wait until the later rounds to draft a developmental prospect, perhaps Washington State’s Anthony Gordon, Colorado’s Steven Montez or Florida International’s James Morgan.
It’s true that the Bears have multiple areas of need on their roster. But one of the biggest is quarterback, which means Chicago must do their due diligence in fixing the position in every way possible.
