There are two parts to this do-over for the Chicago Bears. The first: Don't trade up one spot in the draft.

It's amazing that NFL GMs still fall for this trick. San Francisco 49ers GM John Lynch presumably told Bears GM Ryan Pace that someone else was trying to move up to the No. 2 pick. So in a panic move, Pace traded up to ensure he landed his target, Mitchell Trubisky.

NFL Network's Michael Silver has since reported that although someone may have wanted the No. 2 pick, it was not to acquire Trubisky.

The second part of this do-over: Don't take Trubisky.

Even if the Bears stayed at No. 3, he was a reach. The quarterback showed promise during his one year as a starter at North Carolina, but he showed plenty of flaws as well.

It's unfortunate that signal-callers get pushed up the draft board every year because they end up getting thrown into bad situations with too much pressure to perform immediately. According to Pro Football Talk, Pace has already declared Mike Glennon the starter in Chicago, but history tells us it won't be long before Trubisky is forced onto the field.

Trubisky has limited talent around him in Chicago, which will make his development a struggle. The Bears could have stayed put and landed an impact player such as Solomon Thomas or Jamal Adams.
