Pace traded up to get Leonard Floyd.
Can't always trade up.

Teams tried to trade up for Mitchell Trubisky, but not as high
as No. 2
Posted by Michael David Smith on May 2, 2017, 5:44 PM EDT
AP
The Bears weren’t the only team that wanted to trade up to draft
quarterback Mitchell Trubisky. Chicago was just the only team
that traded all the way up to No. 2.
Titans General Manager Jon Robinson said on SiriusXM NFL Radio
that Tennessee was fielding calls at No. 5 from teams that
wanted to trade up. But when the Bears moved up from No. 3 to
No. 2 and took Trubisky, everyone stopped calling the Titans.
“We had some calls about pick No. 5,” Robinson said. “When the
trade happened between San Francisco and Chicago, it kinda threw
water on anything in that spot.”
Those comments suggest that Trubisky was higher than Patrick
Mahomes and Deshaun Watson on draft boards around the league,
and that the Bears were far from alone in coveting Trubisky.
That doesn’t mean the Bears made the right decision giving up
three other picks to move up from No. 3 to No. 2, but it does
show they acquired the consensus top quarterback in the draft.

I think that says enough to me. Every team has their
evaluations, and who they would take at what spot. Heck, there
were teams that thought Ryan Leaf was the choice over Manning.
So if you are sitting in Pace's chair and you are that close to
getting who you have evaluated as that guy, he didn't want to
sit back watch another team jump him for the peanuts we gave up
to move. If Titans were getting calls, and the 49ers were
getting other offers - just who do you think it was for? The
calls stopped to the Titans as soon as Trubiskey was selected.
Other teams were willing to pay the price...

This must be post draft delusions. Because pre draft there were
no 'must have' QB's in this draft. Certainly no one worthy of
moving up to grab. How things have suddenly changed....

There were stories on Cleveland talking about taking Trubisky
with the first pick a couple days before the draft. No talk of
Watson or Mahomes.
Every year QBs and DEs seem to shoot up the draft boards.
It's either all about the QB or all about stopping the QB.

this from the Trib
"For comparison’s sake, the last time a team traded up from No.
3 to 2 to draft a quarterback, the Chargers moved up for Ryan
Leaf in 1998. In addition to swapping first-round picks with the
Cardinals, they gave up their second-rounder, their first-round
pick the following year, kick returner Eric Metcalf and
linebacker Patrick Sapp. So, yeah, I think Pace did OK."

It's always on the field that what was viewed as right and what
was viewed as wrong
will be the definition of a team in search of an identity in
the NFL.
What's sad is that it's us at this point in time. :(
None of us ever thought this could happen to us .
But it has.
We don't want Packers ... CHICAGO BEARS need New England for a
second time !
