Can't afford a project QB. Its going to be Wilson or Jones. Someone who the Bears can reasonably get and can start eight away. I wouldn't be surprised if Jones would be their pick. He is the most NFL ready.
But he has Foles and maybe get Mitch back at a reasonable price. A project like Lance or Newman somewhere would fit.
You pick a guy like Jones to take over sometime early next year and I'm OK with that too. Worst case is that he doesn't get a QB in the 1st 2 days.
Only early mocks that we know will change and without trades that tend to have QBs going sooner but here's what I've been talking about in other posts about Pace possibly being gun shy after the fails. If he actually believes one of these is his guy, he should go get him. I know the board feels otherwise but as long as he's the GM he needs to act on his convictions or leave. Guys alway fails when they deviate from being true to themselves.

I don't want Trask at 20 and these mocks all have 4 QBs gone before us. At that point, I probably hope Newman is there in the 3rd if he does well at the Senior Bowl etc.
Trask is Jones with less smarts and I think that is a huge difference for guys with that physical skill set. I'd think Nagy is salivating over a guy that can run his O like Jones likely could.
