There were a lot of people who were skeptical when the Bears drafted quarterback Mitchell Trubisky out of North Carolina with their first pick in the 2017 NFL Draft. Chicago traded up and seemingly traded the farm away to get him.
Quite honestly, Bears fans were mad. I recall being at the Bears’ draft party at Soldier Field that night and witnessed how people felt. There was more swearing when Trubisky’s name was announced, then I have ever heard in a Die Hard movie. I was even swearing myself.
But after staying up most of the night and thinking about what management was trying to accomplish, I determined that they had made the best decision that they could have possibly made for the team’s future.
