Clock ticks for Bears to find Jay Cutler's eventual replacement
You have to rewind all the way back to 2003 to find the last quarterback the Chicago Bears took higher than the fourth round.
In the 12 drafts since using a first-round pick on Rex Grossman, the Bears have chosen a grand total of five quarterbacks.
2004: Craig Krenzel, Ohio State, fifth round
2005: Kyle Orton, Purdue, fourth round
2010: Dan LeFevour, Central Michigan, sixth round
2011: Nate Enderle, Idaho, fifth round
2014: David Fales, San Jose State, sixth round
Of the group, Orton is the only one to have developed into a bona fide NFL starting quarterback, with 87 career appearances with the Bears, Broncos, Chiefs, Cowboys and Bills.
