Four years after trading up for Mitchell Trubisky, an experiment that eventually fizzled out, the Chicago Bears once again pulled off a stunning move Thursday night in the NFL draft when they traded up nine spots with the New York Giants to take Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields with the 11th overall pick.To get more news about [url=https://www.bearsbuy.com]bears jersey[/url], you can visit bearsbuy official website.

 

The Giants received Chicago's first-round (No. 20) and fifth-round picks this year, and the Bears' first- and fourth-rounders next year."We had multiple plans tonight, and the way the board was falling, we got excited when the quarterbacks came off that way and Justin continued to fall," Bears general manager Ryan Pace said. "For us, it was just executing our plan at the right spot in the draft and being patient with that, which sometimes can be difficult.

 

"Fortunately, with the Giants, I've known Dave Gettleman for 20 years. He's an amazing person and amazing general manager and we go way back, so that communication started really this morning about something like that happening, and when we were able to execute it in the draft, I just feel real fortunate."

 

The Bears signed veteran Andy Dalton for one year, $10 million in free agency, but Chicago's sights were always set on finding its quarterback of the future. The Bears have been bereft a true franchise quarterback since Hall of Famer Sid Luckman retired in 1950.Bears head coach Matt Nagy spoke to Dalton on Thursday night and reiterated that Dalton is still the team's starting quarterback. That status, however, is only temporary.
