It’s 2020 and the Chicago Bears maybe once again floating around the idea of trading up to take a quarterback in this year’s draft.
The Bears have what can only be called a very auspicious record when taking quarterbacks in the various NFL drafts. No less than nine quarterbacks have been taken in the first round between the years 1939 and 2017. That number grows to ten if you count Bobby Layne. I’ll explain soon.
Since 1939 the Bears have not drafted a quarterback in only two decades. Those being the sixties and seventies.
