The Chicago Bears have their quarterback in place for the 2015 season in Jay Cutler, but general manager Ryan Pace noted earlier this offseason he is always on the lookout for talent at the position.
“It’s a good idea to add a quarterback every year,” Pace said in late March, according to Rich Campbell of the Chicago Tribune. “You can take a swing every year at it and increase your odds.”
The top two quarterback prospects in this year’s draft are Florida State’s Jameis Winston and Oregon’s Marcus Mariota, and while it is possible for one of those two to drop to the Bears at No. 7 in the first round, it is more likely the team looks to address the position in the middle rounds of this year’s draft.
There is a drop-off in talent from Winston and Mariota to the next tier of quarterbacks, but history suggests successful quarterbacks can be found in any round.
If the Bears decide to add to the position in the middle rounds of this year’s draft, here are five quarterbacks they should target.
