The NFL Draft started with a bang as the Chicago Bears decided to trade their #3 pick, plus a third round pick, a fouth round pick, and a future third round pick, in order to move ahead of the San Francisco 49ers.
After the Cleveland Browns selected defensive end Myles Garrett with the number one pick, news came through that there had been a trade.
On NFL Network, the analysts were certain that there were a few options that justified the Bears guaranteeing the get their man, but the name that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell read aloud shocked everyone watching.
Mitchell Trubisky was the consensus number one QB in the draft for many, but considering the Bears just offered former Bucs QB Mike Glennon a bumper contract, it was not expected that they would take a player at the position, let alone so aggressively.
The reaction in the stadium and in the studio was hilarious, but stick around for the reaction of the Bears fans back in Chicago for some truly beautiful television.
The 49s received all of those picks and were still able to take Soloman Thomas who many thought was there number one guy, and insanely good trade for them.
While Trubisky may go on to do great things, his NFL Draft will not be forgotten any time soon.
Safe to say, it was a surprise on Twitter too.

Trading those picks for Mitchell Trubisky is like paying $20 for a bottle of water at Coachella only to spill it on the desert floor. #Bears

I just don't see what the Bears saw in Mitchell Trubisky, and they just traded up and bet their next five years on him. Unreal.
