The Bears are ready to move on from Mitchell Trubisky. His grade from the 2017 NFL Draft is poor. How do the other first-rounders fare?
The Chicago Bears have reportedly acquired Nick Foles from the Jacksonville Jaguars for a compensatory fourth-round pick. That feels like a major admission trading up in 2017 to select Mitchell Trubisky out of North Carolina was a mistake. How has the rest of the first-rounders done from that year?

Tom Brady played in 285 games as a member of the New England Patriots, going 219-66 over that time.
He also appeared in 41 playoff games, posting a sterling 30-11 record.
Now that his time as a Patriot is over, let’s look at how he fared against all 31 teams.
Brady only faced the Cardinals twice in his time with the Patriots, the fewest games of any NFL team. That’s because the two teams played in 2008, which Brady missed with an ACL injury and again in early 2016, when Brady was suspended for the season’s first four games.
