Ashton Jeanty

[KittiesKorner]

Absolute horseshit.

Not one team is anywhere near to being at the point of "targeting" a player in the draft.

They have just began the real process of fully evaluating the upcoming draft prospects.

Shrine Bowl
Senior Bowl
Combine
Pro Days
Interviews
Private Workouts

Not to mention who they lose/gain in FA.

The key part about FA is the "Free" part, as in the player could choose to go elsewhere.

The creep you posted doesn’t watch football but just plays Twitter bingo and retweets random unfounded predictions posted on there in the hopes that one of them turns out to be right so he can tell posters on here he was right about something. You know, really adult behavior

Ah yes, a mental condition brought on by a case of early onset butthurtitis.

They also retweeted someone saying cunningham is already the jags’ new gm. Oooops

Throwing fuel on the fire... specifically mentions the Bears.

 

[Enasic]

Its just such a deep RB class, I’d be a bit surprised if he’s the bears pick considering their other needs on the OL/DL…..but if he’s the player BJ feels he needs and would make the biggest impact for the team, then have to trust him until proven otherwise. It’s going to depend a lot on how FA goes.

If the Bears draft Jeanty #10 it will be early confirmation that this team still has the wrong leadership.

Think that’s a bit of an oversimplification.

It’s not my first choice but again, it would depend a lot on what they accomplish in FA. Jeanty is still a top 10 prospect in the draft, so saying they have the wrong leadership for going BPA doesn’t really hold water.

Probably all moot though, because I don’t think they go in that direction…but if they signed say, Trey smith, dalman, Mack, and BJ hill in FA and went with jeanty at 10, I don’t know how anyone could complain too much

If the Bears draft Jeanty #10 it will be early confirmation that this team still has the wrong leadership.

ONLY if they don't make any FA moves for OL, and don't draft OL in the 2nd. I really don't like it, but if Jeanty is truly special, if he's a rookie Saquon, I could understand the move. I don't like it, and think it's a luxury pick, but if they get Trey Smith, and at least one other OL starter in FA, I would be open to it. We know DET didn't like Swift.

Has anyone watched extensive tape on Jeanty? Is he special? This is a very good, deep RB class, I feel like we could go LT/G/C/DE at #10 and then get a bruiser later.

 

[Beast15]

Kaleb Johnson has me like

 

[napo55]

If Jeanty is as good as advertised, his presence would be a huge plus for the QB because the defense would have to defend the run and not just rush Caleb. A great RB also makes the O line look a lot better.

Even if they signed everyone of those guys, I still would find it incompetent. Take a Safety, TE, or another Guard before a 5'9 215lb RB that doesn't have elite speed at #10.

The fact that Omarion Hampton and Kaleb Johnson are also in this draft make it malpractice for them to draft Jeanty at #10. There is simply no excuse to fall in love with that kind of RB with so many other options and needs.

Saquon ran a 4.40 at 233lbs with a 41" vertical. This guy won't come close to that and is almost 20lbs lighter.

 

[Raskolnikov]

Would fucking love it. Johnson isn't only a power HB either, he has a smooth stride with noticeable separation speed, and he hits his stride quick.

I wouldn't be shocked at all if he reels off a 40 time somewhere around 4.45 - 4.48

He's quick and fast, he can beat 4.44.

I'm gonna guess he hits 4.38 with a slightly slimmed frame for combine.

Nah ...

Johnson can really use an edge busting running back. If he is there at ten and there isn't an obvious o-line upgrade just do it and become a better offense day 1.

Let's wait for free agency, ok? Deal?
A GMs objective is not to have needs in the draft.

Go buy Johnson and Allen what they "need" so you can go get the values and personalities that build a team long term without pressure in the draft.

Nobody can bust the edge and run three downs punishingly like Jeanty.

We need a guy like Gibbs or Bijan Robinson. Jeanty is worth it.

The Bears have WR, QB, RT, CB1, & TE2 set... everything else needs an upgrade and can't possibly all be filled in free agency.

Like it or not they already have a 5'9 215lb back named Swift that is being paid $8M so we will have to agree to disagree that Jeanty makes sense at #10 when they can trade down and still walk away with Kaleb Johnson or Omarion Hampton who are both excellent RBs.

Pointless conversation until free agency.

The value of RBs is accepted in 2025, but the debate about where to get them continues.

IMO, you can bust on any position, if you get a shot at a pro-bowler in the draft don't overthink your roster build.

You lost me at safety or TE. Jeanty will likely run a 4.4 so speed isn’t an issue.

There is no move TE on this team. There will be two excellent 1st round options in Tyler Warren and Colston Loveland available. If you watched Detroit they had excellent TE play.

The Bears should have zero faith that Brisker can stay healthy and the Bears weakness in covering TE is constantly exposed. There are multiple very good 1st round Safety options available this year.

Get a RB in round two with #39 or #41. Either Omarion or Kaleb Johnson will be there, no reason to reach for Jeanty.

FYI there is a big difference in 4.40 and 4.49. Jeanty looks like 4.46 and definitely not Jahmyr Gibbs level of 4.36.

Looks like Omarion Hampton is the only RB in Jeanty's level, and its doubtful he will be there at pick 39. Kaleb Johnson is a good RB and better than anything the Bears have now, but lacks the deep speed of Jeanty and Hampton for the splash plays that can break a game open.

So do you reach for an O lineman if the value isn't there at pick # 10?
