DRAFT SPOTLIGHT

Quarterback

Grading One year the after Bears’ trading need: Picks Low. 3, 67, move 111 up and one this spot year’s to draft No. 70 Mitch to Trubisky, the Bears believe they have their franchise quarterback. This offseason, they surrounded him with two backups who know new coach Matt Nagy’s system: Chase Daniel and Tyler Bray. On the roster: Trubisky ($ 7.26 million average annual salary), Daniel ($ 5 million) and Bray ($ 795,000). Top five draft prospects: 1. Sam Darnold, USC: For all the dot- connecting of the last few weeks — Darnold’s parents sat with the Browns’ owner at his pro day! — the best guess is Cleveland’s No. 1 pick comes down to Darnold or Wyoming’s Josh Allen. 2. Josh Allen, Wyoming: His arm strength is sexy, but his completion percentage is not. 3. Josh Rosen, UCLA: Jim Mora has been quiet for a while. That’s good for the UCLA passer. 4. Baker Mayfield, Oklahoma: For all the hype about his histrionics, he was a more successful college quarterback than the three above. It’s not close. 5. Lamar Jackson, Louisville: He’s a first- rounder.

I’m intrigued by: How this draft class compares to last year’s — a decade from now. The Bears were criticized for taking Trubisky when they could have waited for more ballyhooed quarterback prospects in 2018. This year’s class, though, developed flaws in the last year, from Darnold’s and Rosen’s on- field struggles to Mayfield’s outbursts.
