I didn't say I was concerned or that he's bad. I said he's not a good blocker. I really couldn't care a lot less about how good of a blocker he is. I'm not drafting him for his ability to block. I only mentioned it cause the post, to me, read as if he was wondering if Jeanty could block or not. I would've never brought it up on my own... cause I just don't care.
Would it be a nice bonus? Sure... I'd love it. But 10/10 times, I'm taking the RB who is a better runner than blocker. For example, compare him to Henderson. Henderson is a great blocker... and I would never take him over Jeanty cause of it. Jeanty is a way better RB in my opinion.

Yeah they definitely need help on DL as a matter of immediate need as well as better depth accross the OL. Won't be annoyed at all if they take that road.

Not as good as his run protection.

That's the big thing here. He's rated way above 10. Some reporters have invented some ridiculously over valued trades to create some clickbait stories.
He's probably not coming here, he probably won't be there when we pick. We're almost certainly not trading up for him over all the other players we could trade up for.
Didn't we already discuss this ad nauseum and it's the position you have a problem with?
I want oline for our 2nd year QB who probably won't have protection for his rookie contract if we don't get someone this year. If a RB can fill that role it would make the hypothetical clickbait pick make some sense.

If we trade up into the top 5 to draft Jeanty he becomes the 6th highest paid running back in the league.
What an awful waste of a cost-controlled contact that would be.

Another factor to consider for sure.

The bears will probably make the trade but it'll be worse than the picks that have been reported. Poles will throw in the 5th or future picks

The lions traded out of pick 5 back to pick 12 and selected Gibbs.
This is nothing like trading up from 10 to 5 to then grab a RB
Also, it ain’t gonna happen

The guaranteed portion is even higher. It’s 2nd or 3rd among RBs.

A ray of hope?
Rap doesnt mention the Bears as one of the teams looking to squander draft capital.
