I also don't think he'll be a Bear so it's not something I'll be following closely moving forward.


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.




He can be an average or bad blocker and my opinion of him is the same.


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.

Half the fan base is salivating over it too

Question isnt whether Poles is dumb enough to trade up for Jeanty but whether Johnson is given the Lions took Gibbs high in 2023. If the rumors are true it is obvious this is Johnson pushing for this.
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.

Bears trade up to take Jeanty with the #16 pick.
That would be the only trade up I'd consider (or for a different player).

But I'd like OT, DE, DT, OG with no trades.
