Twitter surprised by Bears trade to pick Trubisky in NFL draft
It didn’t take long for the first big move of the 2017 NFL Draft.
The Chicago Bears, holding the third pick, traded up one spot to No. 2, in a trade with the San Francisco 49ers. And the Bears took UNC quarterback Mitchell Trubisky. To get the Tar Heel, the Bears gave up the third overall pick, a 2017 third-rounder (No. 67 overall), a 2017 fourth-rounder (No. 111) and a 2018 third-round pick.
Trubisky seemed surprised and elated.

Many Bears fans, however, were not pleased with Chicago’s pick.
Had the craziest dream the Bears traded up a pick to draft Mitch Trubisky.

In all honesty, I feel bad for Mitch Trubisky. The guy looks like he couldn't be happier to be a Chicago Bear, but none of the fans want him

Me: the draft is starting, the Bears future is bright!

Sometimes I wake up regretting choosing Yale over a real school, but at least I've never drafted Mitch Trubisky with the 2nd overall pick.

Just hoping my boy Mitch Trubisky can continue the greatness of former 1st round picks Rex Grossman and Cade McNown.

If nothing else, "Mitch Trubisky" is a fun name to say in a thick Chicago accent.

And of course, the Madden NFL video game was ready to let Bears know what their potential new starting quarterback would look like in the navy and orange.
The Chi just got their guy.
