Kizer looks slow to read, Trub is a total wildcard with some very bad moments in him limited tape, Watson is a hot route-or-run gimmick QB. Hopefully, we have scouts who can narrow down coachability and football IQ.
Can't say I agree much with this assessment.
Agree with whatever you want, it all shows on tape. Any one of them could be a fine NFL QB, but there's some serious question marks in each of their games.

You think those things show up on tape? Which tape? And I'm not saying there aren't question marks...very few guys come out of college without them...at every position.

I KNOW they do! Not just on some tapes, EVERY tape for these guys. I saw Trub stare down a damn wheel route in one. I saw Kizer hold onto a large percentage of snaps too long or miss quick release targets regularly. I saw Watson tuck and run with open receivers every single game and miss guys open in the under because his gimmick O told him to chuck bombs and take off.

And not a single one of them worth the #3 overall pick without calling it a "hope and a prayer".

Seriously though.... what high QB pick doesn't have the GM pucker his sphincter and hope and pray?

Oh....Andrew Luck, and maybe a Marcus Mariotta. LOL I sent you a PM with my thoughts which I'll only highlight here.
It's my belief that John Fox is already a "dead man walking". He's out after this season and Pace will finally get to hire "his guy" which I still feel Fox was not or at least not his first and best choice.
So....as far as I'm concerned John Fox should have no say in a QB of the future and furthermore why draft him high now and take a chance that A) he's not all that good, (a very reasonable assumption this year) and B) he won't fit the plans of the next HC and next year you're either saddling him with that guy or right back to drafting THAT HCs QB of the future when you already have millions tied up in the guy you took in 2017.
Then you end up like Houston having locked up $30 mil plus in a QB you're already looking to replace because you allowed yourself to get desperate. The FACT is we have no need to get desperate. I don't think we can win more than 7-8 games this year no matter who plays QB and it could be much worse than that. We had a pathetic offense in 2017 that for once had zip to do with Jay Cutler. He wasn't around for much of it.
But what we still have is the HC and OC who were the so called master minds of it and that should be enough to convince most anyone 2017 won't be much better if any. Why? Same old question. What's changed? Nothing except it looks like we'll be losing another of our best WRs. So is this a good time to bring in a highly drafted prize rookie QB when we're looking at a need to rebuild our WR core too?
Then there's also the question of how are we fixed at OT for protection for a rookie QB? (ummmm) Is our #1 RB also a top pass catcher (not really). How are we fixed at TE? (?). Lot's of question marks only a few of which can be solved in just one offseason.
To me there is still so much wrong and out of focus unless we'd be passing on the QB of the decade (and we aren't) why bring a highly drafted rookie into this yet AND under a lame duck HC and OC neither how have ever developed a top NFL QB. Desperate teams do shit like this then wish they hadn't. Are we that desperate? No, because the McCaskeys are convinced they sell out and make money no matter what. So what's the rush. You could put Aaron Rodgers on this team and still not make the playoffs in 2017.
Look, the Bears suck at drafting QBs in the best of years. Ask yourselves; "Do you really want them to spend the #3 pick on a QB in one of the worst of years"? If so good luck getting this one to work out better than those in the past. Just accept some reality OK?
If the team sucks don't always blame the QB or think there's some savior out there we can trade for or draft that will turn sucking into a championship. What needs to be done is to finish this "overhaul" by being smart for a change but to be honest I'm really not seeing that yet. Whether or not they prove to get any smarter over the next two months I can't say so I'll give them their shot and wait for the results because they've used up all their words and platitudes by now.
