Now, the possibility of drafting a quarterback looms Saturday. The Bears are still looking for a long-term solution at the position and could try to address it on the third day of the draft. The Bears don't own a fourth-round pick, with their next selection coming at No. 163 overall in the fifth round. Chicago also owns two selections in the sixth round and two more in the seventh.
Two of the best prospects still available are quarterbacks, with Georgia's Jake Fromm and Washington's Jacob Eason each left waiting another day for their name to be called. The Bears would likely need to be aggressive and trade up to land one of them.
If the Bears elect to stand pat, there are other options available. Let's take a look at the best quarterbacks remaining.
Fromm could've been a fair selection for the Bears in the second round. If general manager Ryan Pace feels strongly enough, he should trade into the early portion of the fourth round -- ideally with a future draft pick -- and select Fromm.
Back in 2017, Eason was in line to be Georgia's starting quarterback before an injury led to Fromm's ascendance. The two have had parallels in their respective careers.
Washington State quarterback Gardner Minshew proved to be a steal for the Jaguars in the sixth round in 2019. Gordon hails from the same scheme and could provide a similar fit in the NFL.
Stanley didn't dominate the college game by any measure, but he has intriguing arm talent and ideal NFL size. He's a developmental prospect, and the Bears could use one of those at the quarterback spot.
McDonald stands at 6-foot-3 and 215 pounds and ran a 4.58 in the 40-yard dash. He has fascinating potential at the NFL level.
The 6-foot-7 Luton has quite the frame to work with and possesses a strong arm.
Morgan grew up in the shadows of Lambeau Field. Could the Bears add him to their quarterback mix?
As a three-year starter in the Big Ten, Lewerke has a foundation that could be appealing to NFL teams.
With a pristine touch on his passes, Montez boasts NFL upside.
Once a prized recruit, Patterson never lived up to his billing in college. But he has some appealing traits and could still boast NFL potential.
