QB. Texas Tech. Patrick Mahomes . 3. player. 57. Ryan Pace knows he has to get a quarterback in this draft. Jay Cutler continues to show his toughness by trying to play through injury but the facts are unavoidable. He’s 33-years old and his body is starting to break down under the years of constant abuse he’s taken. The Bears haven’t selected a quarterback in the top three rounds of a draft since 2003. The regime knows it’s not something they can put off any longer. It’s time to look to the future. <p>The opinions on Patrick Mahomes will be guarded. Nobody doubts the Texas Tech standout is among the most physically gifted in the class. He’s big, boasts a powerful arm, throws with good touch, plays fearless and is a nightmare to stop when he’s rolling. The son of a coach he’s well-schooled in the game and a hard worker by all accounts. Critics will say he’s in a gimmick offense and plays a backyard style of football. Let them. If developed patiently, he’s got uber potential.</p>
