The Athletic - Ranking the Draft Trades (Bears #1)

Three first round picks to get into the #3 spot. That's an insane amount of draft capital.

It only matters if the guy fails, right? Bears felt they needed to trade 2 thirds and fourth round pick to move up one place to take Trubisky. I have no idea what KC gave up to take Mahomes, but no one quibbles about the cost.

They would not have gotten Fields if they didn't trade up. That's the bottom line, and for once Pace didn't trade the entire farm for a player.
