While running the draft sim often some of the QBs were there at 8. I got to wondering if we would've been better off waiting.
Trubisky graded 6.54 "should be pro-bowl". The only one higher this year is Darnold 7.10 "pro-bowl". Close would be Mayfield 6.09 "instant starter". Usually Rosen is the one to take who's left at #8.
I'm sure Darnold will be special but the cost to move up high enough to get him would've been ridiculous, if it was even possible.
All others would be a step down or require a move up to be at best a wash.
The only thing that could've helped would've been to play Glennon the whole year, and there wouldn't have been a dick left attached at CCS.
How much it helped is not even a guarantee since the teams picking above us were really bad. I doubt even with Glennon all year we would've been above #4, definitely not above #3. It still likely wouldn't have been enough for Darnold.
I don't think we did bad on the QB end of things making the move when we were in place to make it instead of waiting for the deep 2019 QB class.
As far as this year at #8 we have a good chance to get a great one at a position of need at #8 since we already have our QB and the "Deep Class of '19" should fill a lot of the picks before us.
I'm feeling good about the future of the Bears. I hope this draft works out.
