Will the Bears draft Kizer? Okay let's back up for some context here. It's no secret the Chicago Bears are undergoing a massive fluctuation at the quarterback position. Jay Cutler, Brian Hoyer, and Matt Barkley are all gone. Mike Glennon, Mark Sanchez and Connor Shaw have replaced them. That sort of turnover is rare at any position, let alone the most important in all of football.
Yet nobody is buying for a second that the Bears are finished. A former backup who hasn't started a game since 2014? A veteran former first round pick who has underachieved most of his career and played for five teams? A preseason hero who's coming off a broken leg? This doesn't exactly look or feel like a strong group at all. Everything would indicate the Bears plan to add more help. Possibly high in the draft.
How high is the big question. That's why they're busy scouting and meeting with top prospects. The latest being Notre Dame standout DeShone Kizer.
Considered by many to be the best overall quarterback prospects in the draft, talent-wise, he's coming off an inconsistent final year of college. He threw for 2,925 yards and 26 touchdowns. The Irish finished with a rough 4-8 record. Much of the blame was put on him for that, though it's a bit unfair. He was working with minimal help on offense and a bad defense on the other side. Nevertheless he's got the size, mobility and arm strength teams look for. He also works really well with the Xs and Os.

It's led to a steady decline in his draft stock. Once considered the top option in this class, there is a growing belief he could drop. And drop a lot.
