Green Bay Packers: Top 10 fantasy rookie rankings in NFC North

7. Mitchell Trubisky, QB, Bears

What made the Trubisky pick one of the more head-scratching moves of this year’s draft wasn’t the fact that GM Ryan Pace decided to select him as high as he did, but more so that he traded an exorbitant amount of draft capital to move up a single spot to get his man.

The first takeaway from Pace’s gamble is that the 22-year-old will be Chicago’s unquestioned starting quarterback sooner rather than later…and that means sometime this year.

Mike Glennon gets a raw deal here in that he finally thought he had a leading role all to himself after years of toiling in the shadows in Tampa…only to find out his days are numbered.

One bad stretch of play is all it will take to usher in the Trubisky era, which will probably see the rookie take his share of lumps on what looks to be an ill-fated Bears squad that may, at best, cobble together six wins.

The good folks from Pro Football Focus recently assigned an 81.6 rating to the one-year starter, which placed him second among all draft-eligible signal callers.

That rating and other positive reviews seemed to be largely based on Trubisky’s pro-level arm that afforded him the ability make outside-the-number throws against a variety of coverages, including the popular Cover-2 alignment.

Where the still wet-behind-the-ears triggerman falls short is in his penchant to stare down defenders and overall issues in making the proper post-snap reads.

And while Trubisky is lauded for his athletic prowess to move outside the pocket, his accuracy on the run is another area in need of improvement.

Fantasy-wise, the one-time Tar Heel could perhaps serve as a bye-week fill-in in a two-QB league, but otherwise Trubisky is nothing more than a taxi-squad piece that isn’t worthy of anyone’s consideration in a typical redraft setup.
