Seattle moved the 2017 #31 pick to San Francisco, which used it on LB Reuben Foster, in exchange for #34 and #111. The deal gave Seattle extra draft flexibility and the pick that became S Tedric Thompson. Seattle's side of this 2017 draft-capital exchange was straightforward: the Seahawks received 2017 second round pick (#34-Cam Robinson); 2017 fourth round pick (#111-Tedric Thompson) and surrendered 2017 first round pick (#31-Reuben Foster). The grade reflects the known return, while San Francisco 49ers's grade accounts for the countervalue. The trade belongs as a standard database entry because its documented impact was real but not franchise-shaping.
Assets Received
- Pick 2017 second round pick (#34-Cam Robinson)
- Pick 2017 fourth round pick (#111-Tedric Thompson)
- Pick 2017 first round pick (#31-Reuben Foster)
Trade Analysis

Tier: landmark

The Mitchell Trubisky trade-up became one of the defining draft mistakes of the 2010s. Chicago moved up one spot with San Francisco to select Trubisky, while Patrick Mahomes and Deshaun Watson remained on the board. The 49ers collected extra picks, including value that eventually connected to Fred Warner, while the Bears absorbed the quarterback miss. It is also a priority indexing page because the Trubisky-Mahomes comparison keeps the trade permanently searchable.
Assets Received
- Pick 2017 1st round pick (3rd overall, Solomon Thomas), 2017 3rd round pick (67th overall subsequently traded, Alvin Kamara), 2017 4th round pick (111th overall subsequently traded, Tedric Thompson) and 2018 3rd round pick (70th overall, Fred Warner)
- Pick 2017 1st round pick (2nd overall, Mitchell Trubisky)
Trade Analysis
Why the Bears Made the Trade
Chicago made the trade because the Bears believed Mitchell Trubisky was their franchise quarterback. That is the only way to understand the move. The team was not just selecting a quarterback. It was paying extra to make sure no one else could take him.
The problem was the size and context of the bet. Chicago moved from No. 3 to No. 2, gave San Francisco extra draft capital, and selected Trubisky ahead of Patrick Mahomes and Deshaun Watson. That combination made the trade infamous.
What San Francisco Actually Received
San Francisco moved down one spot and received a package that included extra picks. The 49ers still selected near the top of the draft and gained additional capital without losing access to a premium prospect range.
Not every piece worked perfectly. Solomon Thomas did not become the dominant top-three defender San Francisco hoped for. But trade evaluation is not only about the first player selected. The 49ers gained extra chances, avoided the Trubisky decision, and eventually drew real value from the broader asset chain, including Fred Warner.
Why the Trade Failed for Chicago
The trade failed because Chicago paid extra for a quarterback who did not become a franchise answer. A team can survive giving up extra picks if the quarterback becomes a star. The Bears did not get that outcome.
The sting is worse because the quarterback class produced Mahomes. That does not mean the trade itself should be judged only through Mahomes, but the comparison is unavoidable. Chicago paid a premium to make the wrong evaluation at the most important position in sports.
Why the 49ers Won
The 49ers won because they let Chicago create urgency. San Francisco did not need to take Trubisky, and the 49ers used Chicago's fear to extract more value. That is exactly what a team holding leverage should do.
Even with Solomon Thomas underwhelming, the value logic favored San Francisco. The 49ers moved down only one spot, added assets, and avoided the quarterback bust side of the ledger.
Why This Trade Still Matters
This trade still matters because it is one of the cleanest examples of draft-board panic. The Bears were not moving a long distance for a quarterback. They were moving one spot and paying a premium because they were afraid of losing their preferred player.
It also belongs high on the GSC priority list because fans still search the Trubisky trade whenever they revisit the 2017 quarterback class, the Mahomes miss, and the Bears' long search for quarterback stability.
The one-spot move is what makes the trade especially damaging. Chicago did not need to surrender a massive package to climb from the middle of the draft. The Bears paid extra for certainty, but the certainty was attached to the wrong evaluation. That is why the trade still defines the franchise's quarterback frustration.
Final Verdict
San Francisco won because it gained extra value and avoided the quarterback mistake. Chicago lost because it paid a premium to select Trubisky ahead of better quarterbacks. 49ers grade: A. Bears grade: F.
