With no clear future at quarterback and the Bears about to hold a competition between draft bust Mitch Trubisky and journeyman Nick Foles, a couple of NFL Draft experts have some advice Chicago might not want to hear:
Keep waiting.
ESPN’s Mel Kiper and NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah argued they should kick the problem down the road a year rather than take a quarterback with one of their prized second-round picks. The Bears are in the tricky position of starting with Nos. 43 and 50 overall, then nothing until the fifth round.
Kiper’s advice is to address skill-position needs rather than gamble on a second-round quarterback like Georgia’s Jake Fromm, Washington’s Jacob Eason or Oklahoma’s Jalen Hurts.
