Round 7: K.J. Costello | QB | Mississippi St.
The Bears had to come away with at least one quarterback in this mock draft, right?
I’m not certain Costello would even make the roster for 2021, but Pace has to take a swing on the position and Costello is the type of player who’s most likely to be around at the end of the draft.
His mechanics are flawed and he seemingly hit his ceiling early in his career at Stanford, but hey, you never know. Drafting quarterbacks is like buying scratch-off tickets. Usually, it doesn’t work out. But when it hits? It can hit big.
