Mitch Trubisky, Patrick Mahomes among QB prospects for Bears to consider in '17 draft and beyond

LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- The Chicago Bears have spent only four draft picks on quarterbacks (Kyle Orton, Dan LeFevour, Nate Enderle and David Fales) since 2005 -- and none of those have been under current general manager Ryan Pace.

With Jay Cutler expected to depart, the Bears have to restock the quarterback position. Matt Barkley has done well in two starts, but he doesn't project to be the long-term starter.

The Bears need a franchise quarterback.

One of the best-case scenarios would involve trading for New England’s Jimmy Garoppolo, which could possibly cost Pace second- and third-round picks.
