Official NFL Draft Thread - Bear Fans Only - and No Montucky!

[Discus fish salesman]

I think there is only 1 person on this board who does not see things the way you and the rest of us are seeing it. The trenches are FAR from being a finished product. This is a great draft to address these needs.

Don't get me wrong, I like jeanty a lot and would take him at 10. BUT I wouldn't trade up for him and the trenches aren't nearly complete like some people think

I'm going to withhold all judgement until all of the picks have been made.

 

[DanielCCSBears]

I hope the Bears don’t trade up at all. This isn’t the draft to do that and the 2 second round picks are needed to fill out the roster with some very good starters.

CORRECT. If they do it just goes to show how arrogantly wrong and reckless Ryan Poles is.

1) The Bears are not one player away

2) Ashton Jeanty is not the guy you draft if you feel like you're one player away

3) Ryan Poles has no patience or maturity to be an NFL GM.

The Bears should be able to add 3 absolute starters out of the top 4 picks. How they can even consider that trade is beyond me.

Maybe year 2 or 3 starters, but the first 4 picks will not all be day 1 starters on offense or defense.

So, when you asked yesterday why I was giving you shit about hating Ben Devine, it's exactly stuff like this. Just so you know, the way you feel about seeing a Ben Devine tweet, is exactly how this entire board feels when you post anything. You are a bigger man baby then Ben Devine or any of the Twitter clowns you are jealous about.

Yea, I honestly don't really believe it anyway. As much as I like Carter, I'd shift direction to Kayvon instead and see what that takes. One 2nd at worst, but maybe the 3rd gets it done. I like that way better.

How dare you!

 

[Les Grossman]

I kinda hope the Bears do draft Jeanty now, just to see the absolute bi tch-fit of a conniption CCSDaniel has

I'm ripping my dick off now because I am a go-getter and want to stay ahead of the game. I've got things to do this weekend.

Lol it was this tweet that set the board aflame and started the war within this forum. It started the Justin Fields for MVP hype train as well. So please spare me the I'm jealous of him.


And then there's this gem from last year Dexter, Stevenson and Scott which also got the usual suspects on this board fired up.

Spoiler alert other than Dexter stat padding off of Billings work all three of these guys were awful last year.

Again, the way you feel about his tweets are exactly how this board feels when you post. Also, those wouldn't even be in the top 10 of your bad takes. And yes, you are jealous of anyone with a Twitter presence, because like your journalism career, you have none.

Please go on record with what RBs from this year's draft will go on to have better careers than Jeanty. Do you feel any are worthy of the Bears drafting in the first (if they trade down) or in the 2nd?

 

[ndgt10]

They say Jeanty doesn't have homerun speed.

 

[gallagher]

Can anyone tell me how highly regarded Jeanty was at this time last year?

I'm highly suspicious of players who go into the draft elevated by the hype of their biggest year. The guys I want to see targeted in the first round are ones who follow up a big year with a second or third year that affirms the hype.

 

[dabears70]

If i'm making that crazy trade up then i'm doing it with Clev and not the Giants because if i'm giving all that to move up then i want T.Hunter over Carter. Hunter has the chance at being a blue chip player at WR and DB.

He likes Skat because he’s from ASU.

I will just add... Jeanty is possibly being overdrafted. For example, the Jags and Raiders were bottom 10 in yards before contact, meaning, the OL doesn't get good push in the run game. That said, if Jeanty is picked to a bad team, it will limit his ceiling a bit. A guy like Hampton, will almost certainly land in a better situation... or Henderson. I could see the Broncos and Chargers going with RBs, and whoever they draft will be in a golden position.

I agree Jeanty is a stud, but he's more likely than not at the moment to land in a less than desirable situation, which puts the odds against him.

Jeanty had big numbers in ‘23.
