Chicago Bears Mock: Trade these 3 players to load up on 2021 draft picks
Pick Analysis. Texas A&M. 83. player. Scouting Report. QB. KellenMond. 57
Chicago Bears: Round 3, Pick No. 83
We’ve discussed how some rookie quarterbacks may be taken earlier than expected. This could still be the case, but as of right now, many draft boards have Kellen Mond falling to the third round, so it would foolish for the Bears to not snatch him up.
Mond’s mechanics certainly need some work, but there’s no denying his athleticism and physical prowess. It’s hard not to get excited with a throw like this too.

Mond and the Bears seem to also have a connection, as the Bears have been in contact with the Texas A&M quarterback. Here’s what Mond had to say when asked about speaking to the team.
Texas A&M QB Kellen Mond when @patrickfinley asked about Bears in pro day media session: "I’ve had a lot of interactions with the Bears, and I definitely see a connection. I don’t want to say any names, but I’m definitely excited, especially them being able to watch me in person"

Mond’s upside and potential make him a great pick at 83, as he could slowly transition in this Bears’ offense and become a long-term starter with some coaching under Bear’s quarterback coach John DeFilippo.
