Who knows if Trubisky will be any good. But he would have been there at #3 without losing 3 picks. Dumb, panic move.almost as big of a shock as the garbage the bears just did

They must really love Trubisky.
I would have stayed at 3. If Trubisky is there, great. If not, trade down.
The Bears sucking and making stupid moves can only be good for NU attendance.Roster has so many holes to fill too - those picks would be useful
I'm on the Bears sth waiting list since 2010 - I'm nervous I'm going to move all the way up now.The Bears sucking and making stupid moves can only be good for NU attendance.
Huh?Walker's draft status being hurt by the fact that NFL teams aren't drafting defensive players this year.
Precisely.Huh?
We are 10 picks in.
Which part?
In a losing effort against Western Michigan, Austin Carr had five receptions for 75 yards. Number five pick Cory Davis had seven receptions for 70 yards.

Don't short the Bears - they picked him at #2.My point was merely that drafting Corey Davis at #5 is (for me) quite surprising. The Bears puking out many draft choices to move up to draft Trubisky at #3 is a joke but it is not surprising given the ineptitude of the organization. So I do not consider the drafting of Corey D. at #5 almost as big of a shock, I consider it way more surprising.

If the browns thought that highly of him they would have picked him #1. A franchise QB is more impactful than a franchise DE.No he wouldn't have. Cleveland was trying to trade up with SF to get him. Trubisky was going 2nd no matter what.
By the way, do you guys remember that FItz offered Trubisky early during his recruitment? I think we had a decent shot at him if NC had not offered.
No he wouldn't have. Cleveland was trying to trade up with SF to get him. Trubisky was going 2nd no matter what. Can't fault Pace for going for it. He obviously felt this guy was a franchise QB and decided to go up and get him. If he is right the trade will look great, if he is wrong, Pace will get fired.

The Browns thought they could get both. Pace shocked everybody by jumping in the mix. Like I said, can't be critical of a GM who identifies a franchise QB and goes after him. I think I would have taken Watson but obviously Pace felt Trubisky was head and shoulders above the rest. He put his job on the line. You've got to respect that type of conviction.
That makes no sense Corbi. If either the Browns or 49ers thought Mitch was worthy of the no.2 pick, they would have taken him with the 1st or 2nd picks. 95% chance he's available at No.3.
To expect the Chicago Bears to do dumb shit is par for the course. Drafting Trubisky and giving up all those future picks to do it is consistent with the program. Corey going at #5 (love my fellow Wheaton guys) is WAY more surprising. Very happy for Corey Davis. Laughing at da Bears.
Nobody graded Mitch as a franchise QB. Bears decision makers just got fleeced. BIG TIME.

Moves like this cost people their job.

What do you mean? Cleveland wanted Myles Garrett and Trubisky. They knew SF was drafting defense and would want Garrett if Cleveland took Trubisky first. So Cleveland took Garrett and thought they could entice SF with enough picks to pass on Thomas and trade the #2 pick. They didn't count on the Bears stepping in with a trade offer. CLeveland offered SF more picks than the Bears but the Bears offer was more attracttove to SF because it enabled them to still get Thomas.
That's a pretty fact specific scenario Corbi. Your source? I work with the Browns front office. Will speak with Sashi after the dust settles and get the scoop. Still makes no sense that Browns would pursue the 2nd pick unless they were certain Chicago was picking Mitch at 3. In fact, they would have likely targeted Chicago's pick at no.3 before speaking with the 49ers. We'll know for sure soon enough. At best, I can see the Browns taking a flyer on moving up that far, but only if the price was very attractive.
GOUNUII
WalterFootball had a pretty good grade on the bears pick. Lol

2.Chicago Bears: Mitchell Trubisky, QB, North Carolina: MILLEN TRUBISKY Grade
I... I don't even know anymore. WTF are the Bears doing!? They paid Mike Glennon so much money, and yet they gave up the No. 3 overall selection, two thirds and a fourth... for a mediocre quarterback prospect? Wow.
Wow.
This is one of the worst draft moves ever made. If the Bears just took Trubisky at No. 3, that would be bad, but not horrible. Actually, it would be horrible, but this is a franchise-ruining selection. Trubisky over Solomon Thomas echoes Blaine Gabbert over J.J. Watt and Blake Bortles over Khalil Mack. Way to pull a Jaguars, Chicago.

Or Corey should give PJ part of his signing bonus because PJ Fleck was the only D1 coach to believe in him and offer him a scholarship.PJ Fleck should give half of his first year Minny salary to Corey for making him a hot commodity......
