Unfortunately there’s no way I really see either OT make it to 10.

Your entire premise is that if a GM takes a guy HE likes but YOU don’t, it’s a risk.
Even if the GM is proven right and the guy is great, it’s reckless. ?
Somewhat arrogant, no?

Scared money don't make money.
Make sure you get who you want to Poles so that we know it won't be a reckless gamble.

Hmmmm… my initial gut feel is “no”. I think there is good value at RB with the picks already in hand. I’m sort of hesitant to deal with the contract part too. On draft day, when I see what’s there in the 3rd, I’d revisit. But today, not knowing, I’ll pass.

Also why trade for a guy that wants a new contract when you can get a rookie on a cheap deal?

He tore his acl in like the middle of the 2022 season and has pretty much struggled to get back to his old self since then. Too bad because he was one of the best all around RB's in football before that. He has had some games where he looked like he was going to get back to that player but still has had setbacks and i'm sure it hasn't helped being on those Jets offenses.

Terrible analogy. Someone being their mortgage to the #10 pick has zero correlation

It's terrible. I hate it!
Breece hall had nearly 1600 all purpose yards in 2023 with terrible qb and ol play. He was really good. Having said that, I wouldn't make that previous trade you mentioned

I mean... I guess you're right it is arrogant. Although I didn't say it was a risk simply because I didn't like him.
This isn't exactly rocket science and I've seen enough GMs come and go who believed they were the smartest in the room and wasted picks on their hunches despite it being obvious to most that it's a dumb choice.
If Shemar Stewart turns into Myles Garrett no one will care, but the odds of that are extremely high.

Can you give a better correlation for drafting a player with horrible production at his position with a premium draft pick just because he is a great overall athlete?
The only reward for suffering through the 2024 season is having better draft picks so to use that on someone so risky, I absolutely think it's similar to betting everything on a longshot.

Myles Garrett is an all-time great. That's a bit of an unfair comparison, no?

I guess he wants generational talent from the 10th pick because Myles Garrett went #1 overall?? I’m trying my hardest to make sense of this.

I started typing a reply asking the same question he's ignored previously, but I realize this is a vortex that isn't ending soon, and I didn't want to get caught in it.
I get liking certain players and not wanting others. And I am not advocating for drafting Stewart. But I can't understand why he keeps calling it "risky". Why is it any more "risky" than anyone else?
But most of all, the notion that if the Bears draft him at 10 and he plays like a guy worthy of a #10 pick, it's still a stupid move. That's one heck of a take. I mean if drafting players worthy of being drafted at their respective positions is stupid, give me stupid!

Amazing part is knocking the GM for going on a hunch and getting it right but what does that mean for players that are drafted on advanced metrics and other characteristics but end up busting? Does that validate the GM’s decision? I don’t want Stewart either, and nor do I want Warren, but I will root for whoever they draft. Whatever I think is inconsequential at the end of the day.

Could just be that he isn’t the most well spoken of guys and/or intelligent. Trying to protect him from himself. Just playing devils advocate

That's been obvious for a while now, which is a little crazy. If this year's Ward was in last year's draft, do you take him over Penix?
