A complete seven-round 2017 NFL Mock Draft for the Chicago Bears.

The 2016 season has not exactly gone according to plan for the Chicago Bears. They sit at 1-5 on the season and there is little reason to believe in them doing much better going forward.

There is some nice talent on their roster, but this is a tough time for Bears fans. There is little to look forward to this season. That being said, general manager Ryan Pace appears to be a bright front office leader and should get this team pointed in the right direction soon.

While Bears games may not be exciting for fans this season, the 2017 NFL Draft will be an important night for the organization. It is early, but let’s take a look at all seven rounds for the Bears with a 2017 NFL Mock Draft.

This mock draft was completed using the FanSpeak Mock Draft Simulator.

I considered taking Michigan super defensive prospect Jabrill Peppers here with the third overall pick, but landing a quarterback was simply too tempting.

The Jay Cutler era appears to be over. And while Brian Hoyer has been playing well, he is not the guy who is going to lead them into the future. Pace and company simply must find their franchise quarterback soon.

In this mock draft, Clemson’s Deshaun Watson is the guy. Watson is not a perfect NFL quarterback prospect, but he is an extremely talented player who has massive upside at the next level. Watson is a dual threat quarterback who can make plays with his legs on the regular. That being said, he also has enticing arm talent that should play at the next level.

Watson needs to work on becoming more decisive in the pocket and his accuracy can be an issue at times. That being said, he could quickly become an NFL star. Landing Watson here could quickly reshape the entire Bears’ organization.
