There just happens to be 2 G spots on the line. Unless thuney suddenly went from best in the league to washed in a matter of months, I am extending him.

They already extended one of them. I am fine extending Thuney. Just pointing out there are reasons to maybe wait a bit

That just might be what they're doing. I'd really hate to give up a 4th round pick for one year of Thuney.

Jalon Walker is the wildcard, imo. He is such an enigma as a prospect. Insane athlete, who can do so many different things but still learning how to do at least one of them at an elite level. Very high ceiling. A little smaller than Micah but those comps have been made by a few people. Then the question of how he would fit in Allen’s offense.

Walker or Jeanty if both available?

When is this damn draft again?

I hope he runs tomorrow. That’ll cause a shakeup as high as the Patriots pick. If he doesn’t run, he shouldn’t even bother working out at all.

I'd take walker all day over the freaking running back.

Still hope jeanty is gone by the time the bears pick, but if they take him at #10 I wont be mad. He just better be a fringe pro bowler as a fucking rookie behind this oline, otherwise its a pointless pick. Most of the guys in the 2nd round would likely get similar production if he's not at that probowl level.

I agree with you. Obviously the hope would be you’re drafting a rb who will be among the league’s best if you’re taking that rb at 10.

Personally, I think he has the potential to be great. And if he does reach his ceiling, he’d be the best Bears back since Payton. If he eclipses like 1200-1500 yards from scrimmage and around 12 TDs, I think that is a valuable weapon to have.

But I’m also a huge fan of Grant, and like I said, Walker intrigues me, as well.

There isn't that much falloff in production from the RBs that will go in the second. I think they have to take an LT even if it's a guy without a high first round grade but who knows.

Give me Walker all day. Worst case, he’s a great LB for you. Best case, he’s getting you double digit sacks every year.

I’ll take Walker at 10 and Henderson at 39 over Jeanty at 10 and the best available edge at 39.

That’s what I want to know. I’m not sure he does
