3. Chicago Bears

57. Jay Cutler has run his course as the starting quarterback for the Chicago Bears. Eight seasons of erratic play and ill-timed injuries finally wore people out on him. Brian Hoyer and Matt Barkley aren’t the answers except for backup consideration. This team knows the time is right to get a young quarterback in the draft. It’s the highest they’ve selected since 1972 and they haven’t picked a top 5 QB since Jim McMahon in 1982. <p>Mitch Trubisky is the most intriguing of the 2017 crop. He really did come out of nowhere at North Carolina, starting in his first year and putting up some impressive numbers. His mix of size, mobility, arm strength, accuracy and footwork jump off the screen quite frequently. He plays with that poise and awareness teams look for in a starting quarterback, and his style would mesh well in the system Bears offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains likes to run.</p>. QB.
