Ummm, commish comes up... there?s been a trade, the bears have traded with the 49ers and moved up one spot! The bears select...lol
The 49ers duped the bears and called them with the bluff of the century! 49ers were not drafting a qb! What a mile high robbery!!!

The 49ers traded the No. 2 pick in the 2017 NFL Draft to the Bears for the No. 3 pick, a third-rounder (No. 67), a fourth-rounder (No. 111) and a 2018 third-round pick (No. 70). San Francisco picked defensive lineman Solomon Thomas, and Chicago selected quarterback Mitchell Trubisky.
It turned into a deal that both teams would mostly like to forget. The Bears and 49ers reportedly declined each player?s fifth-year option within a day of one another.
Trubisky was selected before elite QBs Deshaun Watson and Patrick Mahomes, both of whom would?ve been far better choices for the 49ers and Bears. San Francisco did manage to select a defensive staple with one of Chicago?s picks, but general manager John Lynch?s maneuvering during his first draft ultimately didn?t turn into much -- with one notable exception.
The 49ers used the 2018 third-round pick to select linebacker Fred Warner. Warner has been a starter since Day 1, compiling 242 total tackles -- good for 11th in the NFL -- over the last two seasons. He has been a key pieces of the 49ers? defense that grew into one of the league?s best, and figures to be a long-term fixture at linebacker.
Warner was a Pro Bowl alternate last season, but the remainder of the 49ers? 2017 haul hasn?t come close to those heights.
