— -- The San Francisco 49ers and Chicago Bears swapped the Nos. 2 and 3 picks in the NFL draft, and the Bears used the second selection on quarterback Mitchell Trubisky of North Carolina.

In swapping spots with the Bears, the 49ers get Chicago's third- and fourth-round picks in this draft and a third-rounder in 2018.

Trubisky told ESPN after his selection that he had no idea the swap was happening and that he did not get a call to alert him to his selection.

" I didn't think I was going to get picked until the commish made the call," he said. "It was crazy. It's a dream come true. It's as surreal as it gets."

Trubisky had just 13 starts in college and had been considered a project heading into the draft, but the Bears' need for a quarterback in the post-Jay Cutler era prevailed.

With the third pick, the 49ers chose defensive lineman? Solomon Thomas of Stanford -- the highest pick of a Cardinal player in any draft. He played just two seasons at Stanford.
