NFL executives still have no clue what the Bears were thinking at the draft.

The Bears pulled off the first — and most shocking — trade of the first round when they sent the No. 3 selection and several other picks to the San Francisco 49ers to move up just one spot to grab Mitchell Trubisky.

Though Trubisky was the top quarterback prospect in an underwhelming year for the position, the move didn’t make sense for two reasons: Trubisky probably would’ve been available at No. 3, and the Bears signed quarterback Mike Glennon for $18.5 million this offseason to be the starter.

The relationship between general manager Ryan Pace and head coach John Fox seemingly has hit rock bottom.

“We don’t know what the hell they were doing,” one executive told CBS Sports. “It’s all anyone is talking about. It’s really bad between Pace and Fox. Fox is fuming about being left in the dark on the trade. I don’t know anyone who likes their draft. From the first pick on, we can’t figure out what they were doing. Go back and look at how many small-school kids they took. People around the league are shocked. It’s really bad between Pace and Fox.”

Fox reportedly was kept out of the loop on Pace’s plan to trade up and draft Trubisky until a couple hours before the draft. Pace denied that claim and told reporters Fox was “100 percent” involved in evaluating and planning for the draft.

“John is involved in every decision deeply,” Pace said in his post-draft press conference. “The respect I have for John is enormous, especially his experience and all of the players that he’s been with. I think if you look back — and we talked about this — I think a lot of it was kept secret. I thought we did a good job keeping this thing pretty under wraps, it’s so sensitive. But if you go back to the private workouts that we had, I mean John and I — it’s pretty hard to hide him — but we’re traveling to Chapel Hill and having dinners and workouts with Mitch, so he’s been deeply involved from the very beginning.”

Said a high-level executive, "(Ryan Pace) just got fired with this draft."

Only time will tell Trubisky’s value, but the Bears made matters better later in the draft. Chicago had only four picks remaining after the trade, and used them to select three players from below the FBS level and Alabama safety Eddie Jackson, who currently has a broken leg.

That’s not exactly a statement draft or something Fox can actually work with, considering the Bears are coming off their worst season ever, winning just three games, and have glaring holes throughout their roster. Fox and Pace presumably both have their jobs on the line this season.

“Either the Bears know something no one else in the league knows, or that draft just got a lot of people fired — only they don’t know it yet,” said another executive.

Probably the latter.
