I just dont know about this:

https://bearswire.usatoday.com/2021/04/06/sam-darnold-panthers-jets-trade-impact-bears/?utm_source=bearswire&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=pos1headline&env=2ea40eed43933273faeccdc9b0fba543451bcacdda6eb0f39e86c517461b1e2c

I just think the Bears are primed for a day 2 QB. Bridgewater? I think he is better than they have. If it were me I wouldnt touch that.

I read a mock draft where we trade up to the Panthers spot and draft Trey Lance.  Not too sure about this:

Lance, like Trubisky had one year of collegiate experience. He did start 3 more games, but attempted a significant fewer number of passes.  Lance has size, speed, but an average arm.  Plus the level of competition at NDSU has to be a factor. 

A trade up from 20 to 8 is huge.  I'm thinking number 1 next year for starters.

This may not be the year to get the next QB.

It looks like Mond will go earlier than expected.  Davis Mills has been discovered.

Teams before the Bears will be considering Qb in round 2.  Even Houston now with Watson problems.

I suspect they trade the first back bit.  The roster is depleted after the Mack trade.

Peter Schrager's mock draft on ESPN has Davis Mills going in the FIRST ROUND to Tampa at #32.  He was maybe 4th round a couple weeks ago!

He has Bears taking Kadarius Toney WR out of Florida.

Fake news. The Buc's will leverage their cap and future picks to stack the team around brady for the next 2 years... then tear it down and rebuild after he goes. Why waste picks on a QB now when you have a shot at 3 peating with the GOAT.

I think the 5th QB will go later than people think.
I think 3 QBs will go in round 2.
I think Day 3 will see more than a few.

IMO, Bears will likely wait until round 3 or later unless they trade down to accumulate picks.

I see where Trey Lance is having a second pro day. I wonder if the Bears attend?

Just stumbled on this: It raises 2 questions with me.

https://sports.yahoo.com/nfl-draft-betting-mac-jones-is-the-overwhelming-favorite-to-go-no-3-to-the-49-ers-161724086.html

If so what are the Pats doing at 15? The second question is if SF does do that then will Garrappolo be on the trading block?

Admittedly getting swept up on the recent hype, but I do want Rondale Moore to be a Chicago Bear.
