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.
Maybe wait until after the picks to complain about them.

@everyone that wants Jeanty at 10 or higher...

How do you think he will compare to Jahmyr Gibbs?

Hope for the best, Jalen Carter falls into your lap that was the hope two years ago. Now I don't know what Poles will do but it's very likely it will be the wrong decision.
I’m sure if you like the pick, you’ll credit Johnson. If you hate the pick, you’ll say it was Poles.

Either way if the pick hits, you’ll say it was Johnson after all.

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.
Doak Walker winner and Heisman runner up so...

Poles will absolutely draft a TE against the will of his HC. Ben Johnson is no Tard.

I prefer others to Jeanty, but the question is a bit unfair in that Gibbs has one of the best OLs in the NFL.

It’s either the biggest smokescreen ever or they’ll have to teach Ben how to play Poker.
I think a lot has to do with him showing a willingness to take Gibbs as early as he did. Lions don't do that without his influence.
