So, here's my question: Why in God's name did the Bears trade up one spot to take Mitch? What could possibly be the rationale here? There were ZERO other teams dumb enough to trade up to the #2 spot for him, so why not take his inferior ass at #3, especially given the insane amount of draft capital they gave up. I don't get it.

I questioned it at the time, but having lived in Chicagoland for almost 2 decades I resigned myself to the fact they need to make sure that they threw as much fuel on the offseason fan fire as possible.
It's a business, especially there. They got a lot of pub out of doing all of that.
