Snap Reaction - > Pace just shat the bed.....You didn't have to give up all that for that......... All you Glennon haters can now use this to advocate Pace Messing up Free Agency as well. Rediculous..........Unless you are trying to outsmart the Browns and hold Trubisky for a Browns Ransom.........

Bonus note - G08/WAB - Pace just saved you a lot of Mock draft time by giving away the farm

Was SF really going to draft him? Or were they afraid of someone else trading with SF for him? It seems like a lot to give up, but if you truly believe he's a franchise guy, it's worth it.

The rumors were true! Pace goes and gets his guy. Good pick.

I was hoping they would trade down, and then this. Knot in the pit of my stomach.

Good fucking god, they killed us on that trade.

SF gets who they were going to draft anyway, and a stack of picks.

Well, I wouldn't have minded him, at 12 after a trade down and grabbing more picks.

That said, he's a bear now, hopefully he is the real deal.

Ryan Pace got hooked, line and sinker into all of the pre-draft rumors that weren't going to turn out to be true.

He needs to be fired immediately.

For those crying about why the Bears traded up, it's because other teams were trying to trade ahead of them. SF took the Bears deal because they got extra pics and still got the guy they wanted all along. Pace manned up and took the guy that he is confident in tying his fate to.

Unless he becomes a true franchise QB, then the Niners may have been fleeced. Only time will tell. Pace just guaranteed himself another draft. Only Glennon can save Fox.

That's my guess. I don't think anyone expected SF to take him.

Well, here is a guy to develop a year with glennon at the helm. If glennon pans out then you have trade bait, if he doesn't you cut him and you have trubisky.

Hate it. Hate everything about it. Hate the trade. Hate the pick. Pace just put his current, and ability to obtain any future, job on MITCHELL Trubisky's shoulders. What the actual fuck...

Glennon has to love being a stop gap.

At least he gets a chance to play for his future here, and get paid doing it. I pray he becomes a stop gap because that means possibly the Chicago Bears have a fucking QB!

I'm pretty shocked by this ... and depressed that it seems rookie GM John Lynch has more on the ball than Bears GM Ryan Pace

49ers move down 1 spot, collect a few more draft picks, and end up with the guy they were going to draft anyway

the Bears move up 1 spot, overpay to do so, and to get a guy who has 1 season of college experience and will need to be nurtured and developed, something the Bears as a franchise have shown a marked inability to be able to do

Pace's strategy of signing free agents who play positions that are supposedly deep in the draft is making sense now.

If you trade the farm to move up one spot, you're not going to be drafting those players.
