Chicago Bears GM Ryan Pace has often played the trade up game in his drafts, because it seems that in some instances he values quality over quantity. He has conviction in a prospect, so he aggressively goes after him while giving up some other draft picks in the process.
It’s a sound plan of attack when it works, but there are no guarantees in the NFL Draft.
Moving up for a player he and his scouting staff truly believe in is a nice theory, but considering there are no sure things when evaluating prospects it’s something he should do in moderation.
