The Bears have made it a point to address the quarterback position this offseason. Not only are they expected to target an experienced veteran quarterback in free agency, but there’s a good likelihood that they use one of their projected eight draft picks to select a quarterback in the NFL Draft.
Considering the Bears have more needs than just quarterback they need to address this offseason — among them tight end, offensive line, edge rusher and defensive back — they might address quarterback on Day 3, with perhaps FIU’s James Morgan.
But we’ve seen how Ryan Pace responds when he believes he’s found his guy, so there’s no ruling out the Bears drafting a quarterback with one of their two second round picks.
We’ve also learned Pace’s affinity towards Georgia prospects, so perhaps quarterback Jake Fromm is a prospect Pace has kept an eye on.
When asked about a potential reunion with former Bulldogs receivers Javon Wims and Riley Ridley in Chicago, Fromm made it known that he’d welcome landing with the Bears.
“What more could you ask for?” Fromm told NBC Sports Chicago. “To play with those guys, especially two of the guys I’ve thrown the ball to. I’ve gone up against Roquan every single practice. It would kind of be like home away from home.”
Fromm told reporters at the NFL Scouting Combine that he had a meeting with the Bears, which indicates that they’re doing their due diligence at all quarterbacks in this draft.
