Judkins, Henderson, Sampson, singleton, kaleb johnson and Harvey as well. I'll be a little disappointed if they don't get a quality back at some point in this draft.
Yeah i'm waiting until the following draft to go RB if it were me because if we drafted someone in this draft he isn't going to start with us paying Swift $8 mil and Swift will have a better OL to run behind, fingers crossed, so he should be just fine as our 3 down RB next year especially with teams still having to focus on our passing game with Caleb throwing to DJ, Rome, Cole and others.
Swift will only be with the team one more year and he's a mediocre back. It'd be foolish to pass on a great rb class for that reason.
That's why i said i'd wait and go RB in the next draft, because the guaranteed money for Swift will be done after next season. I also added to my post you replied to saying if they went RB in the late rounds then i'd be fine with that and great RB's are pretty easy to find.
I think if a rookie comes in and is better than Swift then they'd relegate Swift to a smaller role. Especially with a different coaching staff (Johnson didn't love him, if he ends up the coach) and potentially FO. Swift was a 1st round pick in Detroit and they didn't hesitate to split touches.
You have absolutely no idea if Johnson liked him or not and they wanted to go with a two RB system which is why they still put Monty and Gibbs together.
How many great rbs are there in the league right now? I'd say like 5ish. I'm guessing your definition of "great" is different and would put that number much higher
I didn't say anything about how many great RB's i can name that were drafted late or not at all are in the league right now, i said over the years. I'll say maybe saying great was overdoing it but i think you knew that and are just somewhat reaching for ways to say it's not easy to find great/good (okay i'll add good) RB's that aren't drafted in the early rounds of drafts.
If the top two OL are off the board when we pick in the first, I have no problem going with the best DL available.
Walker is going to go higher than most think imo, he has the ability to be a legit 5T, something like an Akiem Hicks. Dude's got great athleticism for someone his size. I'd try to get him down to about 330 and put him at 5T.
Swift is mediocre, very good pass catcher, very good in space, but offers little more than what's blocked on most plays and isn't a very good blocker.
Yeah im hoping Cunningham gets a job and they get a comp pick. But if Warren fires poles then Cunningham won't get bears a comp pick if he gets a gm job. That'd be bears luck.
I like Walker, also. He and Mykel Williams have just insane physical tools, and if they learn how to put it all together, would be amazing pros.
Backfield needs a serious injection of speed. Same for the receivers too.
Right now, Bears are sitting at #9 and depending how the last month of the season goes they may move up a couple of spots because I don't see them winning another game. I think the prime area to get Banks, or Cambell the top two rated OL are in that 7 to 10 range. Either would be a godsend for CW.
Yes. Poles has picked very well. His picks aren’t the problem. The coaching has been.
Nope. Not a chance.
Yeah Hampton would pair well with Swift
