Chicago Bears NFL Draft: Takeaways on Mac Jones at Alabama’s second pro day

Bears GM Ryan Pace in attendance of Mac Jones’ second pro day

While the fact that Ryan Pace being in Tuscaloosa, AL, for Mac Jones’ pro day doesn’t give the Bears a better pick than No. 20, it at least shows that there is interest from Chicago.

Does interest put Mac Jones on the Bears’ roster? No, but it shows that maybe the Bears aren’t actually content with Andy Dalton as the alleged “QB1”.

Maybe the Bears are playing a little chess this offseason to throw teams and fans off guard. Since that possibility exists, the other side of that does too. Teams can be as interested as they want, but if someone before you has as much or more interest, that sucks. Time to move on.

Or, maybe the Bears have a trade-up plan in the works now to get into a spot where they can draft Mac Jones. There are just a lot of possibilities given the fact that there’s a lot of time left between now and the 2021 NFL Draft.

As I’ve said a few times now if I were Ryan Pace or Matt Nagy, I’d know that I need to right a lot of wrongs, and bringing a potential franchise quarterback to Chicago is most likely very high up on that list. Is that quarterback Mac Jones? I don’t know, but what I do know is that Mac Jones is a hot commodity, and for good reason.

While most of the takeaways from Mac Jones’ second pro day were analytical on the surface, there was a major takeaway I had that was straight from how he performed in the pro day itself.
