Oh your 7 year old won’t have shit on me if the bears pick someone I don’t like

Just wait until he drafts Mason Graham! I have read on this very board that he sucks and sucks some more.

I’d be fine with graham, although not to the extent as others might be.

Chill guys, it's lying season as they say. It could be that Poles is actually trying to move back in the draft.
Yup, exactly... until a trade happens, there's really nothing to see here. Any discussions about trades is part of the job and data gathering.

"Trying to predict the Bears’ Big Board at 10​

Here’s an attempt to get inside the heads at Halas Hall

1. Ashton Jeanty, Boise State Running Back

I feel like the smoke here has to be from an actual fire. “Ben Johnson is smitten” is something that’s circulated in the league. People from every angle feel the Bears' interest in Jeanty is genuine. The question is, how strong is the interest? Would the Bears just wait and see if he drops to 10? Or will they be aggressive and trade up to the 5th or 7th spot to go grab the Boise State running back?

Zimmerman isn't the biggest dummy and I tend to agree with him here.
If Ben feels that he has to have AJ, then I think that Poles will try to move up and secure him if possible.
Where and how much, who knows but it wouldn't shock me.

It’s either the biggest smokescreen ever or they’ll have to teach Ben how to play Poker.

Wouldn't it be more like Ben wants him and it's up to Ryan and Ian to figure out how to obtain him within their comfort zone if possible.
They've obviously been talking with teams so that's how the smoke rises. Maybe Mr. Mojo rising.

You think the trenches are good enough?

LT needs a long term answer. Edge needs at minimum more depth and realistically a quality pass rusher. DT needs more depth and some youth. IOL needs depth.
They don't absolutely have to replace Braxton this year. They don't even know what they have in Amegadjie. The only prospect I think that is a no brainer is Membou and he likely is gone before 10.

NT is definitely needed behind Billings but not 3Tech this year. A big body guy like Grant makes sense so that could be the one trench player I see, but they can just as easily grab a run stuffer later.

DE is a tossup, I'd love Mike Green in round one, or perhaps they grab one in the second. Ultimately DE or DT are the most likely choice with at least one of the top 3 picks. They might grab both but not necessarily.

If we don't take RB at #10 which RB do you want at #39/41—who do you like best? Hampton? Henderson? Judkins?

That's the beauty of this draft. No matter the player, there will be dick ripping.

Even if the trade up is legit, teams don't say who their drafting unless they're only moving a spot or 2 and mostly not then either. Wouldn't argue it wouldn't be Jeanty but could also be Graham a LT or even a TE😬. That said, if the Bear want Jeanty it's likely required with the Jags picking next.

Shit, the trade almost works out value wise if you make the future a 5th instead of a 3rd. But it's not one of those hilariously stupid over pays that makes people's scoops obviously fake.
If we trade up for anyone I won't be happy but trading up that far for a RB would be next level stupid.
