If we don't take RB at #10 which RB do you want at #39/41—who do you like best? Hampton? Henderson? Judkins?
I have Hampton and Henderson 1A and 1B and not sure which one i'd put as the 1A and then Judkins and K.Johnson but i'd be good with them waiting and grabbing a D.Sampson, RJ Harvey, J.James, DJ Giddens or my guy LeQuint Allen later in the draft.

Didn’t pace give up an additional first round pick to draft fields in roughly the same trade up?
It's the same trade package as the 2019 Denver - Pittsburgh trade, but for that Pitt was at 20.

I've said from jump I want a combination of three guys drafted to play offensive and defensive lines. I don't care in which combination they go like Graham Stewart Zabel..... or Banks Booker Pearce not saying that's my prediction of how the draft will fall just tossing out names.

They need OL and DL depth.

I'm done fucking around with trading 6th round picks for guys on the back end of someone else's roster before week 1.




I agree the Bears need to work in the trenches. I don't want a RB at 10 and I especially would puke if they trade up for one. But, you consider Jeanty to be a bust and I don't. I think he will be an above average back in the league. So, I am wondering what backs you think would be better than him? The Bears definitely need another RB because Swift is not good. This is a good year to draft one. Who should they draft?

I don't think Jeanty will be a bust. I don't want to draft him at 10 or any other spot in the first round because he's too big of a risk.

Why do so many of you jump to conclusions based on my critical analysis of a player?

It's wasted value to draft Jeanty, especially with how many other needs they have on this roster.

That’s why there is no end to this rebuild
If Carter is a top 5 defensive player it works, if he's not them it's another massive problem in Poles strategy.

He would need Caleb and Carter to have HOF level careers to have success. Considering I was one of the loudest haul people last year it's very clearly not my preference to build a team but if Carter is Parsons 2.0 it works.

Please do not trade up to 5… the rookie GM is bluffing. I refuse to believe until I see it. Jaguars have like 10 picks in this draft loaded with RBs. They can take 2 RBs if they want to cover themselves. Passing premium players is just not the move. They’re begging someone to hand them a pick to take McMillian later. And if they do, good for them, someone else is falling to 10.

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.
When he started a rebuild rather than try to patch things immediately people bitched about the timetable. He has done it the right way for the most part. So just shut up.
