Chicago Bears scouting Miami quarterback Brad Kaaya

The Chicago Bears haven’t drafted a quarterback earlier than the 4th round since Kyle Orton in 2005 and they haven’t picked one in the 1st round since Rex Grossman in 2003.

In 2009 the Bears traded Orton, two 1sts and a 3rd for Jay Cutler and they haven’t hit on a young signal caller to learn the ropes during the Cutler era.

The last three quarterback names they called on draft day were David Fales (6th round, 2014), Nathan Enderle (5th round, 2011) and Dan LeFevour (6th round, 2010). The only one of these three still playing in the NFL is Fales, who is on Baltimore’s practice squad.
