Concerns for Chicago defenders are no secret – after they failed to trade for Russell Wilson and settled with Andy Dalton. There is no better time for GM Ryan Pace to break the line of not recruiting a quarterback than this year.
The Bears won’t land with a top five defender, but there are still some development prospects on the board that could be targeted on Day 2. McShay has the Bears to address concerns with Florida quarterback Kyle Trask in the second. round with the 52nd. general choice.
Here’s what McShay said about Trask:
Similar to Washington, the Bears dive into the QB pool on Day 2 with Trask, who has a great touch and anticipation in his passes, despite some shortcomings with the strength of his arms. He could learn behind Andy Dalton and Nick Foles and be offered a change to become a potential start-in-the-road.
Although there is a belief that Chicago could trade to draft one of the top five potential defenders – who will likely all be out of the board before the 20th election – that may not be the case.
Bears would have done his homework in the quarterbacks on day 2, which would make Trask a likely option for a team that remains looking for a franchise quarterback.
