Chapter 177: A sudden turn of events
It’s a mess, it’s a complete mess——
It was chaos when the Chicago Bears were fighting.
At the first moment, they realized the crisis. If the Kansas Chiefs drafted away their target cornerstone quarterback, what should they do?
Of course, there are other quarterbacks among the rookies to choose from, but the problem is:
This year is originally a small year for quarterbacks. After repeated inspections, judgments and discussions, they decided to select the main quarterback. I went through all the details inside and out, and based on my own system and team configuration, I finally made a decision on my draft target and determined my cornerstone quarterback.
This is Ryan Pace's second year as the manager of the Chicago Bears. He is still a rookie. The last thing he wants is to make repeated mistakes like the Cleveland Browns and become a laughing stock. Once he chooses a cornerstone quarterback, he They are preparing to build a new team around this rookie player.
Pace believes that quarterback is the Chicago Bears' dream man.
If their target person is intercepted, then they will not only disrupt the draft plan, but may even be the new team building plan discussed throughout the offseason. It is definitely not necessary for Pace to temporarily replace other rookie quarterbacks now. Options to consider.
Damn it!
Damn damn damn!
Pace was completely confused, "Does anyone know which quarterback Kansas wants to select?"
It was quiet and no one could give an answer.
Until someone broke the silence and quietly reminded, "Kansas didn't interview any quarterbacks in this year's rookie training camp. What if they weren't going to select a quarterback?"
Pace frowned and looked around, "If it's not the quarterback, who are they going to choose?"
Silence fell.
Defensive end? Cornerback? Safety? Or a running back?
Pace tried his best to calm down, his brain was running at high speed, and figures flashed by like a revolving lantern, but they all denied it.
Running back?
Haha, how is that possible!
No, he can't hesitate, he can't mess up like a rookie. Cutler's departure also means that the Chicago Bears have fully entered the reconstruction phase. This is also the starting point for Pace's dream of taking over the team and building a team of his own. Need to seize the opportunity.
Immediately, "Call Brett Veach."
Pace, make a decision.
…
"What's going on?"
"What's going on?"
"Did Kansas have a cerebral hemorrhage and fainted because he was so excited?"
"After trading up, there is no movement. What on earth is the chief doing?"
"You're not planning any big move, are you?"
After dropping a big bomb and setting off a storm, the Kansas City Chiefs were still silent, so much so that the entire Philadelphia Museum of Art was in commotion.
It's not like this has never happened before, but it's certainly not very common. Now everyone is waiting and unable to suppress their curiosity.
At the Philadelphia Museum of Art, frontline staff had no decision-making or decision-making power. They could only keep in touch with the rear war room and wait patiently; the real operational discussions and deal-making all took place in the rear, and no one knew what was going on. What happens.
However, such silence makes the anxiety and suffering of waiting boil more and more, and the smell of gunpowder smoke in the air is getting stronger and stronger.
The Little Green Room is no exception.
To be precise, the Little Green Room was the real crematorium, and the tense and hot atmosphere was about to explode - no one knew what the Kansas chief was planning.
Suddenly, the players who had been in contact with the Kansas City Chiefs during the rookie training camp couldn't help but have a lot of thoughts. Maybe they will become the second pick?
Players who have never been in contact with the Kansas Chiefs from beginning to end can’t help but guess, who knows whether there will be an upset at the Kansas Stadium?
Perhaps, Levi is an exception.
Donald looked at Levi, staring at the phone with a calm face, and couldn't help but call out, "Levi?"
Levi did not raise his head, but slightly raised his chin to signal.
Donald glanced at the phone screen and saw black lines all over his head: Plants vs. Zombies? The whole little green room is about to explode, but Levi is playing Plants vs. Zombies?
But calm down and think about it, this kind of Levi is what Donald is familiar with. The big heart shown in the final moment of the United States Championship is more unfamiliar than the slight nervousness before the draft. He inadvertently revealed that he was twenty years old. Appearance of one year old.
Just in time, a wave of zombies was wiped out. Levi pressed the pause button, raised his head and looked at Donald, "What's wrong?"
The worries that had reached his lips were all swallowed, and Donald showed a smile, "No, it's just that you're not even as nervous as me, and I feel a little unbalanced."
"Ha." Levi laughed directly, "The quarterbacks should be really nervous now."
Looking up, he unexpectedly found Watson observing him directly.
Suddenly, he was discovered. Watson's eyes flashed slightly and he tried to dodge, but after realizing this, he couldn't help but feel cowardly, so he looked at Levi openly again. His calm face had no special expression, but his bright eyes were ignited with flames. , showing a hint of provocation and disdain.
"It's me."
Watson said.
Short, but clear.
Perhaps Watson lost to Levi in the Heisman Award selection, but entering the NFL, the value of quarterbacks and running backs is simply not comparable.
The corners of Levi's mouth raised slightly, and he replied casually, "Waiting to witness."
Then.
Rustling, rustling, a commotion——
Goodell finally took the stage. With only one minute and 49 seconds left in the ten-minute countdown, Goodell finally took the stage with an envelope.
"The Kansas Chiefs just completed the trade, and the Chicago Bears now hold the second pick..."
What?
The Philadelphia Museum of Art was in shock. Before they even had time to react, Goodell revealed the answer without stopping.
"Their choice is ... Mitchell Trubisky, quarterback, South Carolina."
Buzz.
Restlessness, tumult, confusion.
The brain's reaction speed can't keep up at all. Wait, what just happened?
The Kansas Chiefs actually traded away the second pick they just acquired?
The Chicago Bears didn't choose Watson, but Trubisky?
This, what exactly is this operation?
The little green room was also stunned, because Trubisky, like Levi, only had one full season——
Trubisky redshirted his freshman season and completed nine games as a substitute in his sophomore season. His junior year was his only full season, but he defeated Watson, who was among the top three finalists for the Heisman Award for two consecutive years.
After a series of shocks, all the teams panicked, with only one thought in their minds: What's wrong with Watson?
Including Watson himself was confused, me, what’s wrong with me?
After the Kansas Chiefs traded up to the second pick, he was almost 100% certain that he would be selected with the second pick, but what is the situation now?
Before I could catch my breath, Goodell had already appeared on the stage again, holding an envelope. Could it be... another signing deal?
"The Kansas Chiefs, third overall, selected...Levi, running back, University of Alabama."
Today’s sixth update.
