This is the first I'm hearing of it. What's the jist??
Feels like guys that are wiry have a higher % of getting hurt but they also have a higher ceiling as their bodies have yet to fill out.

That's just how I read and understood it.

How can the Bears believe they're a RB away from competing?

How i feel when i hear the rumors and the draft odds rising for us to take jeanty

Legit hope its all smoke and they just stick at #10 and do the smart thing by taking an OL/DL
I think Jacksonville just maybe isn't that interested in Graham or any other prospect at 5. Suddenly they are linked to Jeanty and Warren at 5 as those are really the only available players that maybe someone is interested in trading up for.

Maybe they are hoping some team that really wants Jeanty will trade up to 5 with them so they can get out of that spot.

I absolutely hate Ryan Poles and think he has made huge mistakes, but I refuse to believe he is dumb enough to trade up to 5 to draft a RB. I don't buy it.

Im on board with taking OL or DL with any one of the picks, I'm not on board with passing up players that are upgrades over the current starter just because of perceived positional value.

Positional value is such a hole that opens BPA up to all the problems with BPA not ever being about BPA but personal bias.



This Vegas odds shift is interesting. Bears all of a sudden the favorite to draft Jeanty. If it happens I’m going to hope like hell he is Walter Payton v2!

Him looking nothing like Payton is what failed to convince me.
You could see Payton making people miss. In his own way the same with Hester's returns, you could see it happen while he was making people miss.
I just can't see it with Jeanty. He's obviously good but I can't see why.

I won't be happy if we trade up for him but mainly because it's a trade up. If we get him at any spot it will be interesting to watch for sure. I'll also enjoy making a deeper dive into his college films.

I have a plethora of reasons not to, but on principle alone, I’m not letting the guy who got the job over my buddy, Ian, bend me over.
