2017 NFL Draft: Chicago Bears Mock Draft
By Jon Dove
The Chicago Bears are on track to get an early pick in the 2017 NFL Draft and land a big-time prospect.
The Chicago Bears are having a rough season with not many positives to focus on. However, they are setting themselves up to have a very early pick in the 2017 NFL Draft. Chicago is currently still within reach of landing the No. 1 overall pick.
Unless they have a dramatic turnaround, the Bears will be in position to add a high-impact player in the 2017 NFL Draft. This is a team with plenty of needs on both sides of the football. Their biggest need is arguably at the quarterback position.
It’s appears to finally be time for the Bears to move on from Jay Cutler. Chicago will need to pay him a hefty sum if they decide to keep him on the roster next year. It will be cheaper and better for the organization to cut him loose during the offseason.
This leaves Chicago with the task of finding a new starting quarterback and preferably someone capable of being the long-term answer. The Bears will be keeping a close eye on the 2017 Draft Class to see if one of the quarterback prospects fit that description.
Unfortunately, there isn’t a quarterback prospect who has established himself as a top-10 lock. This is why my Chicago Bears mock draft goes in a different direction with the 1st round pick.
