Mitch bears worst draft pick since 06

[PrideisBears]

According to PFF

Worst NFL draft pick for all 32 teams since 2006: Mitchell Trubisky, Dwayne Haskins, Josh Rosen and more

For every Russell Wilson, there's a Mitchell Trubisky, a player who vastly underperforms his draft pedigree and leaves teams looking back with regret. Here is a look at every NFL team's worst-value draft pick since 2006.

are you fucking serious? Shea McClellin?

I get Trubisky didn't achieve up to his draft (or trade for) status, but he was leagues better than most of the other 60 quarterbacks the Bears fielded since Favre went to the Packers.

he's gone, you can get over him and not act like scorned psycho ex-girlfriends about him.

Factoring in draft position Mitch Trubisky is the worst since Cedric Benson, at least. Though I do think the likes of Gabe Carimi, Chris Williams and the legendary Dan Bazuin were complete wastes of picks on players with zero redemptive on-field qualities. Trubisky had his moments, few and far between as they were, but there have been other players drafted by the Bears who started off bad, did nothing but be bad and never got better before being quickly replaced and run out of the league after maybe on stop elsewhere.

Dont shoot! I have a family! I would have put Kevin White as he didn’t contribute shit

 

[Enasic]

bazuin was the worst pick I’ve ever witnessed

lol

as they put it: "Not much explanation is needed here. It was the pick that cost them multiple realistic Super Bowl opportunities."

I haven't thought about it that way but it's true

bears haven't even played a game without Trubs on the roster yet. we're hardly in psycho ex girlfriend territory at this point

Bloodsport ftw

The worst use of a first rd pick maybe ever by any team in NFL history was the Bears trading the 11th overall pick for Rick Mirer. Largely due to the Bears spanking their monkey to ND players for years and trying to make up for missing Joe Montana. At least Ryan Leaf and J'marcus Russell were NFL unknowns.


His 1st 4 seasons he ranked 24th,23rd, 28th, and dead last 32nd in passer rating. He was proven shit. That would be like a team offering the Bears the 11th overall this last offseason for a worse version of Mitch Trubisky, His 4 passer rankings were 28, 16,28,20.

But as to this topic, Kevin White is a slam dunk #1. An already broken Chris Williams #2. Then the Dan Bazuin/Michael Okwo combo of rounds 2 and 3 picks never to play a single down in an NFL game takes the bronze.

Vikings: Christian Ponder

lmao I forgot about that one. That was a doozy. I was with a Vikings fan when that happened and his only response was 'Who?!'

 

[PrideisBears]

Hell we can throw in carimi before trubisky too

 

[ThatGuyRyan]

"What is also certain is Trubisky was often very fortunate on his poor throws because many seemed to be so poor that even the defenders couldn't hang on to them. He got away with more than his share of dropped interceptions or he could have been even worse than he was." -- Ouch.

IMO Kevin White, both make Pace look like a bum. (Since the article clearly states since 2006) could argue Shae McClellin too.

 

[abegibronlives]

It's subjective, of course, and the Bears, unfortunately, have many candidates for the title of worst pick.

Given the position Mitch plays, however, coupled with the fact that the Bears moved up to get him at #2 overall, makes this a solid choice. You could also factor in the two quarterbacks the Bears left on the board, and how either one of them would have impacted this franchise.

A huge swing and a miss if there ever was one.

Fortunately, that's all in the past now....Time to move on.

 

[doctorbear]

Given how high he was drafted and the alternatives at the same position, I agree.

Mitch is a fair answer--swinging and missing on a QB you traded up to the #2 spot to get--only to see him suck is the kind of draft pick that sets a franchise back.

Kevin White would be #2. Dan Bazuin #3. Chris Williams #4. Take your pick of Shea McClellin, Gabe Carimi, or John Bostic for #5. I'd go Bostic--because minus 1 preseason play (you know the hit I'm referencing) he sucked.

Shea at least broke Rodgers' collarbone on a sack and was unbelievably misused by the bears/Lovie/Trestman/Mel Tucker. He's a bust based on production, but I'm inclined to give him a little leeway because he was a finesse 3-4 edge rusher who the bears played at every position except the one where he racked up double-digit sacks in Boise. You know, the one he was good at...

Carimi and Leonard Floyd I'd lump together in 'had decent year when they left' but Carimi was out of the league a year after his one okay year in Tampa. But they get honorable mentions.

Another honorable mention? Kellen Davis. Don't care if he was a 5th rounder. Dude was trash.

Bears have drafted players that were much worse than Mitch - but if you look at the cost to acquire and the potential of that 1 (or multiple for Mitch) pick(s) to effect the franchise direction this is probably right- worst pick since the Cedric Benson pick in 2005. Once again though - these aren't the worst production for pick players, these are more about the level of the team they got drafted into.

Kevin White was basically a wasted pick - like if the Bears had instead of picking him just "passed" there's really no change in outcome from losing White. But at the same time - if instead of picking White they picked one of the Probowl players after him - (Gurley/Beasley/Gordon/Peat/Peters) I dont think it has a much of an effect on the team - team would still go through dogshit for the Fox years before drafting a QB and starting a rebuild anyway - it would be nice to have a better OT on the roster than Leno or Massie but that doesnt move the needle much on its own.

Compare that to the Benson pick - the team was so close to a SB the Bears probably win it with any other pick besides Benson. Imagine 2006 team with any of the non RBs drafted after Benson instead of Cedric (let alone drafting Rodgers) - they probably win in Miami. Mitch pick is similar although less extreme - instead of being "basically any player drafted after Benson" its 1 or 2 specific players drafted after Mitch. But the difference there is pretty extreme - it takes the team from a 1 season flash in the pan to maybe a SB winner or at least a strong contender for a few seasons.

So once again - they are probably right but this is more a knock on the pick and not as much on the player. And I've been a Mitch hater since 2019 so it leaves a bad taste in my mouth to say it, but call it loose or call it tight, just you have to call it the same for both teams.
