A week or two ago, I would have said to get that thought out of your mind because the price to move from No. 20 into the top five — and keep in mind, it’s not out of the question three quarterbacks could come off the board in the top four picks — would be exorbitant. The Bears would have to not only have the guy they want on the board, but also be convinced he could become what Mitch Trubisky couldn’t. Ryan Pace and Matt Nagy would need the trust of Chairman George McCaskey to take that swing, and while I still think it’s rather unlikely, you cannot rule it out. “I imagine they have to do something to get better there; otherwise, they’re basically returning the same team,” a player personnel director of another NFC team said.
Chicago Bears Q&A: Could Alex Smith emerge as a quarterback option? Is there a chance Ryan Pace trades into the top 5 to draft a QB? Would Marcus Mariota be a potential fit?
