Every Bears Pick In 2017 Draft Has Produced An Interesting QB

Every Chicago Bears draft pick in 2017 has a story to tell. From #3 all the way to #221. Each has produced at least one memorable moment on the field. That's a big reason why people consider every pick in the draft important. For the simple reason that there is no telling what kind of talent it could end up producing. As it turns out they all have a rather amazing connection to the quarterback position. Given how important it figures to play for the Bears this year, odds are at least one of those picks will be used on one. So wouldn't it be at least a little interesting to learn who the best quarterbacks ever produced by all seven of their picks are? That is what this article will cover. Be prepared for a few surprises and a welcome dash of hope that maybe, just maybe, the Bears can get it right this time.

#3:  Bobby Layne (1948)

The heartbreaking part about this is Bobby Layne became a six-time Pro Bowler and future Hall of Famer during his time with the Detroit Lions. He led them to a pair of NFL championships and also cursed the franchise to endless disappointment after they dared to trade him away. What many don't remember is it was the Bears who drafted him back in 1948. After a year as a backup though, he asked to be dealt elsewhere. Chicago spent the rest of the 1950s regretting that mistake.

#36:  Derek Carr (2014)

One might call him the next big thing. The heir to the Tom Brady throne in the AFC. Derek Carr nearly won MVP honors in 2016, guiding the Oakland Raiders to their first playoff appearance in 14 years. When he got injured the team fell apart, offering clear evidence of just how good a player he is and will be in the future. To think the league somehow let him slip to the second round drives one crazy. Then again that's the nature of the draft. He'll just spend the next decade of his career making 31 other teams pay for that mistake.

#67:  Ken Anderson (1971)

He was a virtual unknown out of Augustana college in 1971. It was thanks to the brilliant eye for talent two iconic coaches in Paul Brown and Bill Walsh had that Ken Anderson was discovered. Nobody knew what to expect from him. They soon found out. He was the pioneer for what would eventually become known as the West Coast offense. His precise accuracy, smart decision-making and meticulous approach turned him into a four-time Pro Bowler and still the best quarterback in Bengals history.

#111:  Don Strock (1973)

He has one of the more fascinating NFL careers in history, also a highly respected reputation. In fact Strock may be one of the three or four best backup quarterbacks of all-time. He lasted 15 years in the league and was instrumental in his team making the playoffs four different times by coming in off the bench and winning games. His greatest moment though actually came in a loss. In one of the greatest playoff contests ever, Strock erased a 24-0 deficit in 1981 to almost knock off the San Diego Chargers in the now famous "Epic in Miami." Despite not starting the game, he notched 403 yards and four TDs.

#117:  Don Trull (1963)

It's really surprising that Don Trull didn't have a better pro career. He was ranked as the top pass two-straight years at Baylor and went to the College Hall of Fame. Unfortunately his arrival with the Houston Oilers in 1963 could not have come at a worse time. The team was about to enter a steep decline where they wouldn't make the playoffs four-straight seasons. During those years he never really got a shot at the starting job and became part of a quarterback carousel that kept spinning for most of his career.

#147:  Brett Hundley (2015)

Not only is it fascinating that Brett Hundley is the best quarterback taken at this pick, he is in fact the only one. So the competition wasn't exactly fierce. Still, for it to take 79 years for a team holding that draft slot to grab a QB is pretty wild. The fact that it was the Green Bay Packers, the Bears' greatest rival, makes it even more intimate. Hundley has climbed the ladder to become the backup to Aaron Rodgers. Don't be surprised if his name starts to surface as a possible trade candidate in the near future.

#221:  Brad Sorensen (2013)

Brad Sorensen has had a crazy career in football. He started out at BYU in college but transferred to Southern Utah. Then he became a seventh round pick of the San Diego Chargers in 2013. He was cut, spent a month in Tennessee with the Titans in 2014 and then went back to the Chargers where he was on and off their practice squad. Then in 2016 he signed with the Minnesota Vikings, was cut, brought back after Teddy Bridgewater got hurt and then cut again following the Sam Bradford trade.
