Trubisky Was The Only QB The Bears Were Prepared To Draft

As a compromise when they are erecting the statue of Mitch Trubisky at Halas Hall in 2035 I will demand that if be 6" shorter than planned, out of respect for the 2x 3rd round picks that were wasted.

The thing with Pace is he drafts BPA and thinks (and to a degree has somewhat proven) he is a master scout. Put these two together and the only time a QB will be BPA is if he picks top 3 in the draft. Other than that, chances are, Pace will have someone else rated higher. Good and well-thought of QBs don't fall. Some team will prize the good ones and overpay for them. We were one of those teams this year, but at least we didn't give up what Houston did this offseason to trade Watson for Osweiler and the ransom that KC paid to overdraft Mahomes..

"1. Why the Bears went in on Mitch Trubisky. Do I think the Bears overpaid to move up one spot? Yes, I do. The old Jimmy Johnson draft-pick value chart says so, too—the second pick is worth 2,600 points, while the haul the Bears sent to the Niners (3, 67, 111 this year, and a third-rounder next year) is worth 2,715—and it’s not as if San Francisco was overcome with offers."

I've been following drafts forever but can someone tell me the actual value of a future pick. I have been under the impression that it was the middle (16th) pick of a round later - for example next years 3rd rounder would really equate to the 112th(96+16) pick or 70 points. His accumulation seems off as he is giving the value of this years 80 pick.

3 - 2200
67 - 255
111 - 72
total 2527

2715 - 2527 = 188 or about 80

if you use the value for 112 (70) the total amounts to 2597 which is exactly in line.
