In 2017, the Chicago Bears had the third pick in the NFL Draft. Desperate to find their quarterback of the future, the Bears traded with the 49ers to move up to second overall. With that pick, Ryan Pace chose Mitchell Trubisky over other QBs Patrick Mahomes, Deshaun Watson, DeShone Kizer, Davis Webb, C.J. Beathard, Joshua Dobbs, Nathan Peterman, Brad Kaaya, and Chad Kelly.
Shortly thereafter, the Chiefs acquired the tenth overall pick from the Bills and selected Mahomes. The Texans followed Kansas City’s lead and quickly traded up to No.
