I think at least 3 QB's go and both Chubb and Barkley are gone before #8. There is a good chance that minkah fitzpatrick finds his way into the top 7, and there is also a chance that possibly 4 QB's get drafted before the Bears pick at 8.
A realistic possibility will come down to one of either Denzel Ward, Trumaine Edmunds, or Nelson. If you are Pace who do you take? For me Nelson has to be out of the equation. You don't take a guard at 8, even though I think he will be a great player.
I have been high on Denzel Ward but I am starting to think that it would be hard pass on Edmunds. He has the flexibility to play ILB or OLB. He will find his way on to the field in any of the packages the Bears will be running, and he could potentially develop into one of the best players of the entire draft. I also really love the idea of getting Ward and letting him develop at nickel over the next year or two, and when he is ready he can play as either CB1 or CB2 and be an excellent compliment to play across from Kyle Fuller.
