I've thought about that. He really seems to be becoming more of a 5Tech vs 3Tech. He probably is better suited for a 3-4 defense. I dont see Poles drafting a guy to come in making more money than him as a higher drafted player, and then taking away snaps.
His running style is closest to Kareem Hunt with more explosiveness. His size is of zero concern. It's not like we're taking about tweener back bordering on 200LBs. He's an inch shorter then LaDainian Tomlinson and the same weight. He put up 605 on the squat rack and made it look easy (full squat) and the trainers cut him off for safety reasons. His contact balance will transfer.
It’s subjective and I legitimately just went down a PFF list.
Jeanty was measured at 5'8 and change 211lbs. LT was measured 5'10 and change 221lbs... thats a bit of a difference.
If the Bears were to go OL in round two, I would take a long look at Charles Grant, even though it is another FCS LT. He is a freak athlete who is healthy, a stronger player coming out of college than Jones and much quicker than Amegadjie. Poles says he wants competition at LT and Grant can be that.
He is literally the exact same weight.
Sorry I must have missed your top TE list request, but anyway... The constant whining about me saying Warren was a reasonable target for the Bears because of his versatility and the way Ben Johnson could use him...
Plenty of top RBs run the 40, Saquon was top 5 and ran it. What makes Jeanty special? He's hiding his speed and he doesn't even want to play in the cold... I'd pass on him.
So if you are going to use the standard of average draft position of the top DT’s in the league I think it’s entirely fair for you to share the top TE’s in the league and average draft position.
The sad part is you don't even realize how ridiculous you sound, passing on a player, because he opted out of a portion of the undwear Olympics. I'm glad you're not a scout or a G.M. there are ways to track game speed now in real time and scouts have built up data bases on how those numbers compare across the nation and in the league. IF Jeanty s game speed was THAT much of a concern, he wouldn't even be in consideration for a top 15 selection. He's played in the cold plenty. You're reaching for excuses. You don't have to like the prospect, but stop the silly.
The difference, which you densely keep missing, is that Warren is a unique player that can be utilized in various creative ways.
Stop yourself. I said I didn't think he was worth #10 because of his size and play style. The running the 40 is just a side issue.
You continue to avoid the question entirely.
If Membou is there at 10, get him. If Poles trusts Mike Green/James Pearce off the field, I'm on board. If they believe Mykel Wright will become more than just a good run defender, no complaints....
If you took that as some I won't play in Chicago because it's too cold I have some used condoms I can sell you. He'll play wherever he gets drafted.
I don't take it as a Cedric Benson situation. He'll absolutely pretend it never happened and instantly say his Grandfather was a Walter Payton fan and tell us he loves Chicago.
If the Bears were to take Warren at 10, I would not like it..................but with Johnson as the HC I could understand it. He also would probably be BPA if he fell to ten.
