I feel he is a bit of a reach here.

Was just strictly speaking about the way they flip picks around - very impressive.
That's who I thought of too but forgot his name.

Alvin Kamara is a potentially great pick-up by the Saints - still developing but really reminds me of a Jamaal Charles in running style.

Cooper Kupp to the Rams - a very good pick for them. Really like this guy.

Giants reportedly tried to move up for Mahomes. McAdoo very upset they couldn't get him.

Seems Bengals let the internet do most of their scouting

For comparison, this is the Ravens scouting personnel

Why they picked Mitch? I think Pace said at the presser after the 1st round that they really liked him and saw starter/franchise QB traits in him, etc, etc. I personally don;t see it but you never know for sure with QBs.
As for trading up, the 9ers had been trying to drum up interest in their 2nd pick leading up to the draft and made it look they had other teams wanting to trade up to get a QB there. From the looks of it, it was just a hoax and the Bears took the bait, afraid they might lose Trubisky.

When it comes to the Bears, I thought Ryan Pace had very good '15 and '16 drafts but the team was derailed by a run of injuries, issues at QB position and imo Fox is more of a place-holder type coach than someone who could lead the Bears going forward.
This year the Bears draft is a mixed bag, defined by their desperation to find a franchise QB to save GM and HC jobs there. I just don't see Trubisky developing into a good NFL QB - has a very low ceiling, imo, even if he were to develop into a starter ... but evaluating the position is difficult, so anything could happen.
Reaching for Mitch could potentially hurt the Bears two-fold as they missed out on a ton of premier defensive talent this year at pick 3 (or 2) and we are talking real top-notch talent.
The unnecessary trading-up for Trubisky also cost them 2 picks this year, which picks they could have used on improving OL (also a big need) and further improving the defense in a deep defensive draft.
This being said, I absolutely love their 2nd round pick in TE Adam Shaheen, who could well develop into a special player down the road, and really like the value they got in the 4th round with S Eddie Jackson, a player who probably belonged in the 2nd round if not for a season-ending injury last year.

And QB Chad Kelly, Jim Kelly's nephew, is this year's Mr. Irrelevant!
