Would I spend a #2 on someone I thought had "it" who at least hasn't shown it more than Trubisky did? Probably not. But if Pace didn't someone else would've. We could've passed on moving up and got Kizer. It wouldn't have necessarily been Mahomes or Watson or whoever else does better from 2017 next week.
But Pace could have gotten a prospect like Kizer in the 2015 or 2016 drafts. It makes no sense to go through 2 entire 'rebuilding year' drafts where you are picking in the top 10 every round and not select a single QB, then go balls-out for someone like Kizer. Pace couldn't have been specifically targeting Trubisky back in 2015 or even 2016, because Trubisky wasn't even starting in college yet.
