The Chicago Bears was successful as a quarterback at the free agency with the signing of quarterback Andy Dalton on a one-year contract worth $ 10 million. It was not the splash many expected, after rumors of a possible negotiation for Russell Wilson dominated the headlines for a few weeks.
Although the Chicago bid for Wilson has been interrupted – for now – the Bears are not in the position of defender in this off-season. Many expect Chicago to face the quarterback in the NFL’s 2021 Draft, with some even believing the Bears could negotiate in an attempt to get one of the top five candidates in the draft.
According to Dan Wiederer of Chicago Tribune, the Bears appear to be doing their research on Day 2 quarterbacks in next month’s NFL draft.
But according to a league source, the Bears have also done significant homework on Day 2’s quarterback prospects, hoping that the detailed and collaborative assessments of Pace, Nagy and their respective teams will be able to identify potential creators of gender differences. long term.
These Day 2 defenders include Kyle Trask of Florida, Kellen Mond of Texas A&M, Jamie Newman of Georgia and Ian Book of Notre Dame.
Given that Chicago has many needs in the draft – now including cornerback after the shocking launch of Kyle Fuller – it makes sense for the Bears to explore some development options on Day 2, as the top five defenders are expected to leave the board quickly.
Wiederer also noted, like Adam Schefter, that Chicago hasn’t exactly given up on potentially putting Wilson in a successful business with the Seattle Seahawks.
