Lots of picks to give up for one spot. But you realize why Pace had to do it, right?

Another team was about to do it. So the 49ers made the Bears pay big.

And Pace thinks this is his franchise QB. If he is, nobody gives a shit about the picks given up. If he's not, Pace is fired and never gets another GM job.

I have no opinion. Never seen or even heard of this guy.

But Pace bought himself 2 years. Cuz he might not start next year. Even if he does, rookie QBs are allowed to suck.

51 multiple Pro Bowlers in the 3rd and 4th rounds from 1998 to 2016.

209 multiple Pro Bowlers in the 1st and 2nd in the same time.

Cool. So Pace fucked up tremendously. Welcome to the party.

Which team?

The next team to trade up for a QB was KC at 10.

Maybe he's just trying to induce Ginny into snuffing it.

What if he becomes a good QB?

What if you start shitting Spanish doubloons?

Bears could have had Mahomes or Watson and had all the picks also. But they fucked up as usual

I'd hire him.

What if (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky is better than Mahomes and Watson?

yeah, I don't know the NFL rules but I'm guessing the Niners can't say anything more than a real estate agent does..." there's been a lot of interest...you should make a full price offer..."

would it have been wise for the Bears to give up a 1st for Dak Prescott when they could get him with a 4th?

The 49ers might have played him. Maybe. Maybe not.

But the point is this was his guy and he didn't want to risk another team beating him.

Gotta love some of the Stockholm Syndrome Bears fans I'm reading praising Pace for his "boldness" and patting themselves on the back for getting the highest rated quarterback in a draft everyone's been complaining lacks talent at that position for months.

idiot edit

The Browns might have been the team Pace was scared of.

Wasn't the Glennon overpayment also just praised because he was "Pace's guy?" How about Pace find a guy at one of the many many other positions of need on the team?

When is this idiot (pace) going to speak to the media... First question.... "Really?"

The Bears derailed the Browns draft plans by moving up. A lot of insiders had them taking (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky #1 overall until the news broke about Garrett...my guess is they got a little carried away with value and let their guy slip away because of it. This is a common mistake you see baseball front offices make.

I'm not praising him. I'm just telling you what he was doing from his perspective.

I have no idea if this guy will be good or bad.

I just know you need a stud QB to win a Super Bowl. Pace took his shot on this guy.

I will go out on a limb and say that Pace got played by a broadcaster/GM with zero experience. No way you take (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky over Watson.

This is not an accurate list of the Bears remaining draft picks.

YOu keep saying things like this like it was a complete no brainer that Watson was regarded higher than (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky. That is just simply not true. Many experts had (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky as the #1 QB in the draft.

Yes. I understand.

That's the point of the "if" and "some" and "combination" wording.

Certainly not giving away that much for the pleasure.

There's no way (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky was/is/will be that many picks better than Watson.

You cannot imagine a way one first round QB is better than another first round QB?

Then why didn't Houston or KC jump up to trade for him?

Smarter than the Bears.
