INDIANAPOLIS — The Bears’ next quarterback needs a running mate.
Their previous two never got one. When the Bears traded up to draft Justin Fields in 2021, they gave up a first-round pick the following season. A year after the Bears traded up to draft Mitch Trubisky in 2017, they dealt two first-rounders for Khalil Mack.
Throw away the two quarterbacks, and the Bears have drafted one offensive skill position player in Round 1 since 2008: receiver Kevin White, who caught 25 passes in four seasons.
