For this blog I will be discussing some of the quarterbacks
that the Bears may have a chance to draft in the later rounds of this year’s
upcoming draft.
With Cutler turning 33 this year, many experts have the
Bears pegged to pick a quarterback in the later rounds. It has been speculated
that the Bears will go defense in the first couple of rounds but I could see
them drafting a quarterback in rounds 3 through 6. Overall there have been
about four quarterbacks that I think could make sense for the Bears. It would
be great if Connor Cook or Paxton Lynch would drop into the third round but
that seems unlikely after the last week.
1.
Christian Hackenberg
-
He is ranked as the number five quarterback in
this year’s draft class. He was a junior at Penn State last year. He stands at
6’4’’ and weighs 234 pounds. He set a lot of records at Penn State including
passing yards.
2.
Dak Prescott
-
He is ranked as the number six quarterback
available and the 109th overall player available. He was a senior at
Mississippi St. last year. He is a little smaller than Hackenberg at 6’2’’ but
much more agile. The big downside for Dak Prescott was his recent DUI, which
affected his future draft pick in a negative way.
3.
Cardale Jones
-
He is currently ranked as the seventh
quarterback in this draft class but probably has the most upside out of these
three quarterbacks. He was a junior at Ohio State last year. He is also the
biggest of these three quarterback at 6’5’’ which could go a long way to
lasting in the NFL.
Below I will include a link to one article about each of these players:
