THE YOUNG GUNS
Chicago holds the #3 pick in this upcoming NFL draft. It’s the highest selection the franchise has collected since 1972. Debates have raged for months about where they should go with it. Many think it should be the best available defensive players. Others are calling for a trade back to grab more picks. Still many believe this is the best chance the franchise has had to get top quarterback in over a decade. They should pounce on it.
Pace seems to agree based on his recent comments at the scouting combine.
#Bears GM Ryan Pace says the infrastructure is in place for a young QB to succeed because of the team's offensive line.

It’s apparent to anybody with ears that the Bears GM, a former scout, is more than comfortable taking his chances in the draft. Experts like Mike Mayock and others continue to warn against such a plan though. They say that while the 2017 class isn’t lacking talent, it is lacking experience and polish. None are drawing more such concerns than the name the Bears have been attached to the most.
As of today I'd expect Bears take QB 3rd overall. I think they're narrowing in on Trubisky. https://t.co/DACIylfEp1

Mitch Trubisky is the great enigma of the 2017 NFL draft. Most people didn’t know his name at all before the 2016 college season began. Then he broke out with 3,748 yards, 30 touchdowns and just six interceptions. People are very intrigued by his skill set. They feel that if he develops properly he has Pro Bowls in his future. The problem is he only started 13 games in his career. That isn’t much. At all.
