The Bears made a massive mistake in the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft.
Granted, many draft analysts had Mitchell Trubisky as the top quarterback in the class three years ago. Some had Deshaun Watson pegged as the draft’s No. 1 signal-caller, while very few had future MVP and Super Bowl champion Patrick Mahomes as that year’s top quarterback. The general consensus, though, was that the North Carolina gunslinger would be the first player selected at his position.
Many factors have contributed to Trubisky’s downfall in the NFL, as well as the respective successes of his aforementioned peers.
