BEST MOVES
#1: Trading up for Mitch Trubisky
This move was great not only due to the player but also the message it sent. Mitch Trubisky was the best quarterback in the 2017 draft class. He has all the tools one could want out of the position. He’s smart, humble, works hard, is athletic and features a strong arm with excellent accuracy in his throws. The biggest complaint people could find on him was lack of experience. That’s a really good thing.
Beyond that though is the dramatic shift in policy the Bears went through during the act. Historically the team had never shown any sort of aggressive strategy when it came to acquiring top quarterbacks in the draft. Always it was either staying put or trading back before taking one. Trubisky was the first one they had ever traded up for. It showcased that they finally accepted the reality that this organization won’t win without a top QB and they didn’t hold back in their attempt to get one.
