The media is giving Lynch and Shanahan a lovefest for their NFL draft accomplishments, to wit:

I think they did a great job overall, but the trade they made at the top reminds me of P.T. Barnum's famous quote "There's a sucker born every minute" - and my NFL team was the sucker. Clearly Daaa Bearsss have made it clear that neither the 49ers nor the Browns are the worst-run team in the NFL any longer. Daaa Bearsss should have traded all of their picks for new ownership LOL :O

Unless of course Turbisky winds up being a franchise QB... then they will look like geniuses.  I wasn't overly impressed, but he did look good in that last drive against us.

I think regardless of the outcome Chicago paid more draft capital than was necessary, since there didn't seem to be other serious bidders for the pick and SF was not sacrificing anything since they were not interested in Trubisky and drafted the same player they would have drafted at #2 while getting the benefit of paying him less. Having said that, if Trubisky becomes a good long time starter all will be forgotten.
