Rumor: Multiple Teams Believe Bears Go QB In First Round

For those of you into draft rumors and whispers, this particular crumb may spark some interest.

According to many teams around the league, the consensus is the Bears will go QB in round 3.

First off, this will push prospects down, particularly any BPA player or safety in particular. This may also entice the Jaguars to take a stab at Allen, which would also make sensible the theory that the Panthers are going in the draft not expecting Jonathan Allen to be available. 

Theoretically, possibilities of Hooker, Adams, and Fournette being available have increased due to such a possibility.

For those of you who aren't sure, considering they have paid Glennon big time, he provides an explanation:

Thus, what happens is that this increases our odds at having a fine selection of prospects to choose from. With Garrett, Thomas, and Allen likely going for picks 1-4, we may be looking at increased odds of Fournette dropping to us in particular, considering no other teams would make logical sense to take him concerning team needs and fit.

Just some speculation, thoughts, and rumors I thought I'd share with you all.

Doesnt sound like John Fox but these teams are gonna make Cleveland think hard about QB at 1.  Still think its Garrett all day.

I don't think Fox is in much of a position right now to dictate much regarding the #3 overall pick. He's probably going into the season on one of the hottest seats in the NFL. The Bears are 9-23 under Fox.

Fox isn't against drafting a QB high, he just doesn't like to immediately throw them in as rookies. He wants a vet in place so their rookie QB can sit and learn for a year or two, which is what they've done. And as LinvilleGorge pointed out, he basically has one foot out the door and minimal input on these decisions anyway. This is most likely his last season as HC anywhere.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      This is always a non-story by the time camp begins.

      I've really only begun to pay attention this week being that training camp is looming, so I was personally caught off guard by the fact that Nic Scourton remains unsigned. That's not necessarily bad news, but it's not necessarily good news either. Apparently it's a thing with this year's draft class. "Of the 32 players selected in the second-round, 30 remained unsigned and the clock is ticking. "Already we've seen one second-round pick hold out from the start of training camp with that player being Los Angeles Chargers' wide receiver Tre Harris. Harris did not report with the rest of the Chargers' rookies on Saturday due to his contract situation, a issue that could impact nearly every other team in the league. "For the Panthers, defensive end Nic Scourton is the player to watch for when rookies start showing back up to the team facilities next week. "The 51st overall pick is one of the 30 second-rounders who has yet to sign their rookie contract and the reason why is due to the other two that have actually signed. "Cleveland Browns' linebacker Carson Schwesinger and Houston Texans' wide receiver Jayden Higgins each signed fully guaranteed contracts as the first and second players drafted in the second-round. Prior to this year, second-round picks never received a fully guaranteed deal, only players selected in the first-round." https://atozsports.com/nfl/carolina-panthers-news/panthers-nic-scourton-contract-second-round-pick-training-camp-hold-out-tre-harris/ So, I suppose we'll see what's what pretty soon. It's definitely something to monitor.

      overwhelming majority of kids in travel ball aren't getting scholarships though because most teams are rec caliber (and not watched by scouts)    and parents/leagues sort of helped create this system and narrative IMO where travel ball is now oversaturated and most of it is simply expensive rec ball.  is travel beneficial for some athletes to get more exposure? Sure. The ones travel actually existed for.   I still think travel has expanded entirely too broad at this stage......where they will now have 5 teams per year in your backyard area pending they can get parents to write those checks.   Ain't no scout ever laying eyes on 90%+ of the kids in travel ball at this stage of where it has morphed into.
