From the article

He traded up both times and spent a pair of top-11 picks in different drafts selecting a pair of quarterbacks who ended up being unable to reach a second contract with the team. By cost, the picks sacrificed to get those two passers would be valued at #2 (Trubisky) or #9 (Fields).

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Fields was Pace's #9 pick bust; failed to reach second contract.

Pace's second high-cost QB mistake; traded up to spend the #9 overall pick on Fields, who failed to reach a second contract with the Bears. By draft cost, the pick sacrificed to acquire him would be valued at #9 overall, and he ranked in the 21st percentile for QBs taken in his draft tier.
