An unprecedented run on quarterbacks projected in the 2021 NFL Draft is likely to leave the Bears out of luck in their never-ending — and I mean literally never-ending — search for franchise quarterback.
Five quarterbacks are expected to go in the top eight or nine picks, including the top four in some mock drafts — Clemson’s Trevor Lawrence (Jaguars), BYU’s Zach Wilson (Jets), Alabama’s Mac Jones (49ers) and North Dakota State’s Trey Lance (Falcons). The Falcons are taking offers for the No. 4 spot, according to ESPN insider Adam Schefter, but that sounds more like they’re trying to see if a team will get caught up in the frenzy and offer crazy money — their entire draft or multiple No.
