[USML Announce] Trubisky

[Doug Shabelman]

Based on the two other quarterback trades, it doesn't appear to be the initial huge overpay if he becomes a good quarterback. Yes, it's an if and yes they have other needs as well.

I liken this also to when Krause wanted to prolong his job tenure when he traded for/drafted Curry and Chandler.

As this article points out, the value of quarterbacks on rookie contracts can far exceed their value on the open market and is far greater than most any other position.

Agreed.  I didn't see any pre-draft analysis that had Trubisky going that high.  On the other hand, two other teams traded up to take QBs, so there seems to have been a bit of a run on QBs--even though this was apparently a weak QB class and next year's is supposed to be pretty strong.

Unless he becomes a hall of famer or wins them a Super Bowl, this will never be a good pick.  If he ends up like a Philip Rivers (a well respected QB who has had a great career, but never taken the team very far), it will still be regarded as a bad move because people will question what other pieces they could have had if they hadnt dealt so mucht o move up 1 spot (not to mention that all indicators point to the fact that Trubisky would have very likely been there at #3 still).

I guess what I'm saying is.... he needs to be Eli Manning.

I've been looking for a draft analysis--beyond the rah-rah columns in the local press--that sees Trubisky as anything other than a bad trade (to move up) paired with a reach on the pick itself.  I haven't found one yet.  Time will tell.  In about five years, either this will look bold and visionary or we'll refer to it as the pick that helped end Ryan Pace's tenure with the Bears.
