My wife's a Bears fan and she was livid last night after that move and pick. Worst paRT was, if the Bears had just lost to the 49ers last season, they wouldn't have needed to even make a trade.

All I know is that someone in the 49ers is a hell of a good liar to get the Bears to believe they were taking that QB. They didn't even draft a QB with the 3rd pick.....

There's reports surfacing saying the Cheifs and Browns were making offers to the Niners too. The Bears gave up one of 2 3rd round picks so that lessens the hurt a little, but I don't believe they have a pick in the 4th round now, unless I'm mistaken.

All in all, the shock of the trade was what was most aggravating. They can definitely still come out of this draft with a quality class.

Bears were unbelievable. Don't really like any of the QBs much, but Watson was prob the best bet IMO. Supposedly John Fox didn't even know the team was taking Trubisky until like an hour beforehand

If I was the Bears I would be starting rumors that the Chiefs and Browns were making offers to the 49ers.

Kinda surprised that OBI didn't land in round 1, tremendous upside goes without saying

Think that may be because Seattle traded out. I do think they're going to take him here early in round 2...we shall see.

Obi did a million interviews - so on that basis alone it's rather surprising. Our players have been ones to kinda ace the combine and not play up to par - in a way.

I'm getting more and more excited for Obi's pro bowl interview with every passing pick

i think there have been seven safeties picked. he was rated third or fourth best safety by most of the experts. Not sure what happened.

Recruiting ratings of 2017 NFL Draft Picks in rounds 1-3

>>Recruiting is an inexact science, but you need talent to win, and recruiting rankings are generally good predictors of future success, for the most part. The NFL Draft can also be a crapshoot, but how has it shaped up relative to recruiting rankings?

Of the 107 picks through the first three rounds, here’s a breakdown, based on their 247Sports composite rating out of high school:

5 stars: 19
4 stars: 31
3 stars: 31
2 stars: 11
Unranked: 15

So 46.7 percent of these picks were rated 4- or 5 stars. Last year through three rounds, it was 60 percent. In 2015, it was 37 percent. Remember, there are far, far fewer 4/5 star players than 3 and below. A higher ranking typically indicates a better chance, but you can make the league from anywhere.

Here’s this year’s round-by-round breakdown:

First round

5 stars: 10
4 stars: 10
3 stars: 7
2 stars: 2
Unranked: 3

Second round

5 stars: 7
4 stars: 9
3 stars: 8
2 stars: 3
Unranked: 5

Third round

5 stars: 2
4 stars: 12
3 stars: 16
2 stars: 6
Unranked: 7<<

How fitting James Conner to the Steelers.

Also how fitting Maxon goes to Bengals. Perfect kind of defective personality they specialize in.
