Trubisky was not picked up by the Bears highlighting what Fred always says how hard it is to predict success in the draft, eve in round 1 with a QB

I know many hated the Ross pick and are jumping for joy he failed to make you look good, but the facts show it was a tough draft to pick a winner, not by us, but many others as well.

A lot of very good players on that list had their options picked up though. At $18M it would have been foolish to pick up Ross' option. He started off with red flags and they just kept coming.

Trubisky was better at QB than Ross has been at WR.
