For the last couple of months, many mock drafts have had the Chicago Bears drafting a quarterback in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft. Considering the struggles of third-year quarterback Mitchell Trubisky, who didn’t resemble a franchise QB earlier this year, it made sense.
But with Trubisky’s late-season resurgence, where he’s showing signs that maybe he can become the QB the Bears want him to be, some are leaning away from the Bears selecting a QB in the draft — at least in the second round.
After not having a first or second round selection last year, he Bears have two second round picks in the upcoming draft. They currently have the 45th pick (from the Khalil Mack trade with Oakland) and the 50th pick.
Draft Wire has the Bears addressing two other needs in the second round — cornerback and offensive line.
With the 45th pick, they have the Bears taking Utah cornerback Jaylon Johnson. Then, with the 50th selection, they have Chicago taking Tennessee offensive tackle Trey Smith.
The Bears have several needs heading into the offseason, among them cornerback, offensive line, edge rusher and tight end. With the Bears currently tight on cap space and with just six picks currently in the 2020 draft, general manager Ryan Pace will have to get creative.
