It will be interesting picking at 3. I hear the chatter, but
every year the top 2 QBs bubble to the top of the draft. So the
Bears could be looking at one of the 3 QBs we are talking about
AND the top 2 defensive picks (as well as every other position)
at number 3. They may actually have this best opportunity to
trade down.
Cannot see the Browns trading the top pick, the 49ers may - both
need QBs. The 49ers are completely flushing their front office
which may put them in the mood to deal.

27th against the pass in 2016. CHICAGO DEFENSE.
Pass happy tossers like :
Rodgers
Matthews
Bradford/Bridgewater ...
hope we pick some strange at QB ...
keeping their jobs secure as we pass on SHUTDOWN CORNERBACKS
in the higher rounds.
The flavor of the month club kicks into high gear at QB among
BEARS fans as :
year after year we fall into the trap that it's a QB that's
needed...
When NOTHING IN THE PAST 30 YEARS ... has proven that to be
right. >:(
If you can recall the 2006 BEARS ... with a rookie and a gimped
QB ...
DEFENSE got us to DANCE !
The SAME as The 1985 BEARRSSE !
SHUTDOWN CORNERBACKS in 2017 draft ?
GIMME TWO !! with cole slaw & french fries ... and a strawberry
malt. :D

From Wikipedia:
[B]Mahomes announced on January 3, 2017 that he would forego his
last year of college eligibility and enter the NFL draft[/B]

Tech is known for churning out system QBs that fail in the NFL:
Four Texas Tech quarterbacks, Kliff Kingsbury, B.J. Symons,
Graham Harrell, and Patrick Mahomes have been awarded the Sammy
Baugh Trophy.
And that list doesn't include Billy Joe Tolliver.

dallas I can't disagree about the system Mahomes comes
from,but,you'd admit he's far and away the best of that list.
He's played against big name teams and played well for the most
part.Put him behind a competent line and watch passing records
break.Now I'm not advocating taking any QB in the 1st round. At
three we either go with Allen (DE) or trade down for as many
picks as we can get. Mahomes would be good if we were to get an
extra 2nd.
Trading with someone like Cleveland for their #12 in the first
and #1 and 20th in the 2nd would be ideal. However,I would
settle for their #1 in the 3rd in exchange for their #20 in the
2nd.

Being the best of that list isn't saying much. Mahomes can't
play in the Senior Bowl - maybe he'll be able to play in another
all-star game like the East-West shrine game.

Interesting, Dallas. I tend to agree with you about Tech. That
will downgrade his draft position. Could mean somebody will get
a steal, something like Dallas got with Prescott last year.. I
think Mahomes could last till the 4th. However, just to downplay
the Tech label, what Mahomes did against Oklahoma set NCAA
records. What Joki said was correct, that if you put him behind
a competent Oline which we seem to qualify and with a very good
running back, Mahomes can be very successful. He can be as good
as Wentz was at the beginning of the season this year. Sure he
has to grow, but his arm is great provided his shoulder injury
has healed. Playing in a postseason bowl game is a must IMHO. He
needs that Shrine game. I had forgotten he was only a junior.
The Tech label and shoulder injury is going to decrease his
value, I just don't believe you can ignore that Oklahoma game.
He needs that Shrine game to show his shoulder is healed. Oh and
we have 2 4ths in the draft. Our own pick and Buffalo's which
should be 10th. Mahomes would be good value at 3 or 10 in the
4th round.
Oh and one more thing. Mahomes is a junior with more games under
his belt and tape to look at than another junior Trubisky. To me
Trubisky has a label as being a one year wonder.
Lets just say for grins and giggles that Mahomes lasts till the
4th, we sure can fill a lot of defensive back needs before round
4 and still come out with a solid draft. Right now I don't want
to play punt, pass, and kick with Mahomes. There is still hope
with the Shrine game and the combine to evaluate Mahomes better.

System QB's are tricky.
Scouts look past the "system" to see if there are times the QB
had to behave like an NFL QB making certain throws under
pressure etc.
You can have and NFL bust and and NFL success from that same
system such as from Cal Kyle Boller and Aaron Rogers.
