The Bears have acquired the No. 2 overall pick from the 49ers. With the pick, the Bears have shocked the world by taking UNC quarterback Mitch Trubisky.
The selection comes as a massive surprise. There have been a number of players connected to the Bears over the last few months, but no one anticipated Chicago taking Trubisky. The Bears paid a fortune to sign Mike Glennon this offseason and they have now put major resources into landing Trubisky. Glennon was supposedly signed to be the Bears’ starter, but he might wind up holding the clipboard for a highly drafted QB yet again.
The Niners will be acquiring Chicago’s No. 3 overall selection plus more. The 49ers will receive picks No. 67 and No. 111 this year plus a 2018 a third-round pick next year to move back one spot, Matt Maiocco of CSNBayArea.com tweets.

Wow. Mitch Trubisky. #2 overall? They gave up a decent number of picks though to move 1 spot, no one else was going up to get him.
Exactly, gave up a ton to go up and get a guy that SF wasn’t going to get anyway. Wasted their $$$ on Glennon as well. This is the dumb move I’d expect out of Cleveland.
Not the worst move. Ya the glennon signing doesn’t make sense but he can teach Tribisky the ropes. Obviously he isn’t ready to start right away in the NFL. Also Glennon is owed next to nothing after this season so we can release him and have trubisky start next season. However, if u wanted a vet qb to help u develop a younger guy. They could’ve kept Brian Hoyer for a lot less money
They picked Mitch Trubisky
Damn
Every highlight they’re showing of him is a wobbly ball.
Way too much to move up one spot. Maybe SF was serious about considering him.
No SF was not considering taking Trubinsky with that high a pick. Only the moron Bears would be that stupid … and actually paid the niners 3 picks to get bent over pounded in the rear end. Pace needs to go. Fire Pace tomorrow!
Dumb dumb move.
Look at his stats, he’s Mark Sanchez 2.0
Well Sanchez had a couple good years of playoff showings so if he did that, the pick might be ok. I know what you mean though, he completely sucks now instead of just being not that good.
I wonder if Bears fans everywhere are looking at pressing charges against the 49ers for 1st degree rape?
Duffman well said!
Bears move up on the dumbest franchise leaderboard for sure.
Seriously? thanks for killing all hope bears
Hahahahaha…..hahahahaha…..hahahahaha!

A Browns fan.
This saved the Browns from making another bad QB pick. Well there’s still a chance they reach on another! Webb pick 12
The Bears are pretty much guaranteed a return to a top 3 pick next year.
No one #$
No one screws up a draft quite like the Bears.
You’re done Pace. Grammas gonna be pissed again.
Bye bye Pace! See ya later! Good Riddance Moron! Thanks for screwing up the draft and setting the Bears back! Hit the bricks! Adios!
What do you do when you make such attrocious decisions like drafting this guy after giving up 3 picks and paying Glennon $15 mil a year but still end up in the top of the draft again next year where way better QBs will be? What a shame, lol.
Lol all the uneducated comments. The Bears can get out of Glennon’s contract after one year so not that mush money spent.
Agreed but I feel they should’ve waited until next year to draft a qb And give glennon a real chance to be a franchise qb
I’m glad the Bears play in the Lions division, the problem is so does Green Bay.
