One day we may all look back on this and smile.
All the consternation over Ryan Pace’s draft strategy (trading up to No. 2 for Mitchell Trubisky, who is not expected to start in 2017 and then grabbing players from below the FBS level with three of the next four picks) will dissipate if Trubisky becomes a bona fide franchise quarterback. Finding a long-term solution at quarterback trumps everything in the NFL. Perhaps Trubisky is that guy. And if so, the future in Chicago is rosy.
What about in the short-term? Well, that outlook isn’t nearly as pleasant.
