Kay Adams is literally begging the Bears to draft a quarterback in the first round

The resident Bears fan on “Good Morning Football,” Kay Adams is begging them to draft a quarterback in the first round.

After the Chicago Bears barely made the playoffs last year, head coach Matt Nagy and general manager Ryan Pace kept their jobs. Knowing it’s an all-in, win-now year in 2021, a trade offer was made to the Seahawks for Russell Wilson. But they wound up settling for Andy Dalton on a one-year deal.

Kay Adams isn’t having it.

A Chicago native and the resident Bears fan on NFL Network’s “Good Morning Football,” Adams offered a plea to Nagy and Pace on Wednesday. The premise was “Which team will make a surprising quarterback decision in the first round?” Adams of course offered the Bears, and made her case/fully fleshed out her plea.

Adams’ scenario involves a call to the Denver Broncos at No. 9, seemingly to move up and get whichever quarterback might be there (though she named Trey Lance and Justin Fields).

With the 20th pick in the first round, the Bears are not going to be able to stand pat and get one of the top quarterback prospects in this year’s draft. Someone might fall, but five of the first 10 picks could be quarterbacks.

Anyone beyond those five is a reach in the first round, let alone up at No. 20. If someone does fall out of the first 10-12 picks, it’s worth wondering if the Bears will try to trade up. Or maybe, it won’t even take someone among the top quarterbacks falling that far.

With what happened the last time Pace traded up for a quarterback, moving up one spot in 2017 when he probably didn’t have to in order to get Mitch Trubisky, Adams and Bears’ fans everywhere should probably be careful what they wish for in that regard.
