Chicago Bears:  Unknown

Of the top four teams that are in clear need of a quarterback, only the Chicago Bears have consistently avoided having a top name connected to them in some way. Sure there’s been speculation about guys like Garoppolo or Tony Romo or Deshone Kizer. Thus far though none of them have encountered a serious run of rumors connected to the team. The closest it came was months ago when their scouts attended back-to-back games of Miami quarterback Brad Kaaya.

As anybody knows that doesn’t mean much other than the fact they’re keeping a close eye on one of several QBs in this draft class. GM Ryan Pace said “everything is on the table” regarding the position. The fates of Jay Cutler, Brian Hoyer and Matt Barkley remain up in the air. The organization has done everything in their power to make their plans a complete mystery. Thus far they’ve managed it quite well. Perhaps revelations will come out soon.
