Great Job Pace (The Trade Made Sense)

[Xplosive]

The value curve on draft picks drops pretty quickly and future picks are only worth HALF as much as current years picks. Thus the #1 Pick of the 1st round is 3000, but a mid-first round pick is worth only 1000. A top of round two pick is worth 580 and then by the top of round 3 the pick is only worth 265 points. So by giving up next years 3rd round pick the Bears are only giving up half of 265, or roughly 133 points.

The Bears needed to make up a 400 point difference to swap places with the 49ers and ensure that another desperate or QB needy team like the Browns, Cardinals, Chiefs, or even Jaguars, didn't move up and take their guy and they gave up extra low value picks to do it rather than higher valued 1st or 2nd round picks.

In total they sent #67, #117, and a probable mid 3rd pick to make up that difference which amounts to... 255 + 60 + 95 which amounts to...

410 POINTS A whopping 10 points has everyone in an uproar because they don't understand how the NFL draft value system works. I hope my fellow fans come to their senses and celebrate Pace's guts to make the move and BRAINS to know that 10 points worth of non premium picks is well worth it for a Team that hasn't drafted a franchise level QB since 1982.

its not about points or even trading up... its about getting played by a rookie gm... the 49ers wanted thomas and werent trading down further than the bears..... pace could have had trubisky at 3..

That is 100% speculation on your part. Don't state things as facts that aren't even close to be so.

If he turns out to be the next Brees, who cares how much Pace gave away

its not speculation, he is just wrong

Adam Jahns has confirmed there were multiple offers.

I love how the media and most Bear fans in general hate this move.

Give that man a chip on his shoulder and some bulletin board material. Trubisky going to make them all eat their words.

 

[AussieBear]

its fact...

if it werent.. and someone wanted trubisky.. 1sts, 2nd and 3rd rounders would have been thrown at 49ers... do you think a new hc gm with 6 yr deals dont want that kind of ammo going forward...

get real

 

[ZOMBIE@CTESPN]

I think most people are pissed cause this pick won't give them that instant gratification they were expecting with a defensive player that can play day 1. We are in a rebuild who cares when he plays just as long as he crushes it when he gets his shot

So it's a fact that no other teams were in on Trubisky because, if they were, they would be offering more than what the bears did. Interesting, because all I've heard is the bears are idiots and gave up a kings ransom to get him.

a little bit of circular logic here....

 

[AustinIllini]

I'm not too worried about the value stuff. The Bears have a new QB to try.

You're completely wrong. Sorry... Lynch thought Pace was moving up for Thomas.

no he didnt... lynch was told by shanny they be moving up for trubisky..

 

[woopig101]

Who's to say who got the better end of the deal? That won't be determined until trubisky either busts or develops into a long term answer the bears have never had. If he busts, pace is sunk. If he's a player, he's a genius for trading up while preserving next year's first and this year's second. I think people should watch the kid take a snap or two before declaring who won or that pace got played

after the trade was completed...per Lynch

Yes, that was Kyle's guess. He did not know.

If the Bears actually got a franchise QB, and the 49ers get Hoyer and Barkley, they're the ones who got played.

But way to play the drama card.

yeah cause shanny was in den and not in the war room.. whatever... be happy with the pick... blah blah blah.. but pace got took.. it is what it is..

bears would have got the same qb @ 3...

 

[Chicago Staleys]

After the 2nd rd the Bears have to wait 81 picks.
