Other Possibilities: Buffalo Bills

This is the dark hole for Trubisky. If he were to miss the top ten, these are his really two only options before falling into the late 20’s.

After the top ten there is a string of teams that already have a young quarterback and have no need to draft one in the first round.

However, neither of these places would be horrible for Mitch. Both the Texans and Bills will more likely than not be looking for a new quarterback next season. Most people think the Texans will keep Brock Osweiler another season for cap reasons.

However, he has proven to be less than impressive after signing a massive contract.

Houston is better than Buffalo because Trubisky might get to sit a year and learn under Bill O Brien, considered by most to be a quarterback guru.

If Osweiler still can’t throw the ball, all Mitch has to do is beat out Tom Savage and the starting job is his.

Plus Houston has a great defense, something Trubisky knows very little about having played at UNC.

Negatives: Having to start right away could be a problem for Trubisky. Who is the best quarterback to have played under Bill O Brien in Houston?

It raises questions on how good he really is at developing quarterbacks not named Tom Brady.
