To anyone cunting about beating the Packers in week 18, just pretend the Bears successfully defended the Hail Mary and beat the Commanders, and then went on an epic losing streak to close out the season and maximize their draft position. There, done. Same record, same draft position.

I wouldn’t call those people “losers”, I’d just say that we view certain things as more important than others, that’s all.

Even if you do whine, I’m not gonna go at you too hard because you turned me onto potential difference-makers OT Kelvin Banks Jr., G Donovan Jackson, and DT Tyliek Willams as potential draftees with our current positions.

I’m not going to whine. Not my style…

Bears take Jeanty unless Raiders do seems to be the betting favorite
He said its too cold and he doesn't want to come to the Bears. He also skipped out on running the 40 twice so he is scared of hurting his draft stock. Red flags galore, I'm really hoping Poles passes on him if he is there.

There is only one person here cunting about winning in week 18 and from the looks of it, he’s 12 years old. So we probably shouldn’t be too hard on him.

Jeanty doesn't appear to have Jahmyr Gibbs speed so how exactly will a 5'8 211lb running back dominate the NFL? Who is his comp?

Hampton is better getting short yardage, a better receiver and a better pass protector. He has the same speed as Matt Forte, not electric but good enough to make long runs too.

I don't want either at #10. Trade back and I take Hampton late and pair him with Swift. That's a better rotation than Jeanty & Swift.
I won't disagree with you that Swift and Hampton make a good pair but I'd rather have Jeanty and any random up the gut bruiser in the end. Swift can still get touches in some possible two back sets.

Id take Jeanty at ten or wait till Kaleb Johnson out the Ohio State guys that all im saying. Not really a fan of Hampton unless it's second round.

Hampton is a 4.45 player K.Johnson is 4.6 which is a huge difference. I can just as easily say pass on Jeanty for RJ Harvey who is similar in size and attributes.

We just have different opinions on Hampton which is fine. In my book he is elite and can do it all. Swift is going to be well paid this season so I just see no reason to try and pair him with Jeanty.

Haven’t the Bears signed about three different returners just this off-season?

This is the kind of guy you draft in round 7 or pick up as an UDFA.
