The Chicago Bears don’t pick until the fifth round on Day 3 of the 2020 NFL Draft, but they were supposed to have a fourth-round selection.
That is, until they traded it to the Jacksonville Jaguars for quarterback Nick Foles earlier this offseason.
With the 140th overall selection in the 2020 NFL Draft — originally a fourth-round compensatory pick for safety Adrian Amos — the Jaguars selected Miami linebacker Shaquille Quarterman.
He's coming home.

Considering Foles was able to restructure his contract in a way that won’t financially strap the Bears, a fourth-round pick seems a reasonable price for a former Super Bowl MVP that’s coming in to compete for the starting quarterback job with Mitchell Trubisky.
When all is said and done, a fourth-round pick for a potential starting quarterback with a Super Bowl win might be worth it.
