Yea, he's my RB2 now too. I've been watching as much as I can on the top 6 or so backs and his plays just pop off with the eye test a bit more consistently. I've grown even more high on him since I listened to MJD talk about his blocking. I think he also never lost a fumble during his entire college career too? He has explosive play potential, he's tough, great blocker to help Caleb, and he's a team player (was cool with Judkins coming to OSU). I think he checks a lot of boxes. He's a back I'm very very confident would be a good player on this team for a while.
I think he ends up squeaking into the 1st unfortunately. And, I actually think Jeanty will not go to the Raiders... and if that doesn't happen, no chance in hell Kelly allows him to slip past them at the top of the 2nd. So, I kind of think there's no way he's a Bear unless they love him enough to trade back into the 1st round.

I'm already there. I already liked him but MJD has made me look at him more and i didn't realize just how good he was as a blocker until MJD talked about it and i went and watched him. It's really impressive.

Just as I mentioned people shouldnt complain about losing to the Packers and then complain about getting a lesser draft choice because they beat them...I better not read anything on CCS about you advocating for the Bears to trade up, or any whining about missing out on drafting a player 7, 8, or 9
It works both ways...

They definitely rode his ass a ton as you would expect, but I don’t really see that as an issue or concern. He’s young and a freak of nature…I’d expect him to be a bell cow until 30 at least.

I'd take the under on Jeanty and the over on Warren

This is definitely a dude I'd like to end up with. I hear he can go as high as the 2nd, but would be amazing if he fell to the 3rd. Groom him under Thuney for a seamless transition in a couple years.

This is the way. Definitely an infinitely better option than drafting a one in a zillion outlier in Campbell at 10.

Agreed. The logic is broken to begin with. Teams win meaningless games every year and trade up every year. Sometimes you have a high pick and you end up with a bad player cause of it. Maybe if the Rams lost another game, they don't take Donald cause someone else is available to them. Maybe if the Raiders won another game in 2022, they don't take Tyree Wilson and they have Jalen Carter or Wright or Gonzalez or even Bijan instead. Coaches and players try to win and the GM then has to do his job. Whining over and over about a "meaningless win" is so pointless. It's over already and no one in this forum had anything to do with the team winning that game.
We can tank forever for picks and have it amount to nothing. At some point, trust the GM and coaches to do their job and stop leaning on being terrible as a crutch to get better players. If the GM believes there's something so special to move up to 7, then move up to 7. You don't cry that your team didn't lose a game a couple of months ago. If not, then you take the best available at 10. Team building comes down to taking players in all rounds and have a consistent hit rate.
There is almost no chance that the player available at 7 vs 10 is going to be the difference between this team being special and not being special... and like I said, if Poles feels there is that kind of player, then he should just move up and move on with life. This happens all the damn time.

Lot of smoke for Tet going to Dal. The under at 17.5 seems pretty solid. I think Will Johnson will lock a top 10 pick too if he runs well next week. So could be a worthy gamble to go under now for him.

With all of Henderson's good traits, I think he is still best used in a time share backfield, like last year with Judkins. That and injuries in 2022 and 2023 may be enough to keep him out of the first round.

I may not like it but would not be surprised if Ben Johnson wants a RB in round one. Though a trade down would be the best bet to get one.2025 NFL Mock Draft From Brendan Donahue – Sharp Football Analysis

If Ben decides he needs a certain player to ensure his offense succeeds then take him. I don’t care if it’s a TE or RB. I trust Johnson’s vision more than I do Poles’s vision.

Yea, I think Ben plans to use a duo anyway, so it's the perfect Gibbs type long term here... really perfect fit when you consider his blocking on 3rd down.

In Allen's defense Dexter at around 285-290 Could be used at DE on base downs and at DT for the pass rush.
