I think it is a risk they have to take

“I think it’s a no-brainer,” a rival NFC GM told NFL Media’s Tom Pelissero of the Bears’ decision atop the draft board. “In my mind, the talent is a rare one. So, you just go for it. I don’t think it’s a debate.”

I’ve seen some commentary from scouts who think he is a once in a generation talent and others who think he is a once in a decade talent. Of course there are evaluators that aren’t as high on him as the opinions I've listed.

If he doesn’t work out you go again. They have to keep spending draft picks on top QB prospects until one sticks.
