How many teams, including Jets, regret bypassing Bears QB Justin Fields in draft?

Fields went fourth among quarterbacks in 2021, but stands even with Trevor Lawrence at the top of the class now.

The Bears made themselves a permanent punchline by trading up to take Mitch Trubisky at No. 2 overall in the 2017 draft, then watching eventual megastar Patrick Mahomes go eight picks later to the Chiefs.

In his lone appearance at Soldier Field, he mocked them for it by counting to 10 on his fingers after rushing for a touchdown on his way to a blowout and, ultimately, a championship.

The Bears will get endless eyerolls for that error.
