If I remember correctly the backs talked about for this draft before last season included jeanty, Jaden ott, Ollie Gordon, Judkins and Henderson. At least that's a few names that stick out in my mind

I’ll take the field vs Jeanty. Just let the Jags have him if they want. Most I’d offer to trade up for him is a future 4th.

I'll watch the vid later today. I want to point out that a day 3 prospect I really like is Ollie Gordon, who is touted as a much better prospect in the too-early rankings that you posted. Kind of goes to my point of one year of hype being something to arise suspicion.

I see that Jeanty had quality stats a year ago too. I think that if we were looking at him in the second round, that it's a no brainer. But I remain suspicious of drafting him in the first round, and remain of the belief that getting someone for the trenches (O or D) from a big program is the best thing for this team.
I'll just spoil it, but they kinda liked him. I think he was a "top 64" prospect and ranked 5th overall I think? You don't necessarily need to watch or listen. I just skipped to Jeanty and listened, but even that isn't necessarily needed to just get the general rank.

I do think the rankings from a year ago are always interesting. I bookmark them cause I want to see what happens in a year and get a feel of what it was a year ago. It maybe isn't good practice, but something like this is why I was a bit higher on Will Johnson... which could be a mistake.

I don’t know what is more pathetic if that trade up rumor is true.

1. Poles thinking he is one player away and offering 3 picks for one.

2. The stupid Giants GM declining it.

The battle of the dumbasses continues.
Yeah if this is true, shows how moronic both of them are.

The Bears addressed both sides of the line with veterans this off-season. Are they finished,no.
I want some insurance in case they can't get an extension done for Thuney or Jackson isn't as good as they thought or Jones isn't fully ready for Week 1 or Grady Jarrett regresses because of age or the DE from the Colts is our version of Corey Wootton.

I'm sick and tired of scrap heap guys. There's been so many guys they've pulled in last minute in camp they hope will work out. I want to build up this team once and for all.

Who do you want? Do you have favorites or just want trenches and trust their evaluation?

When it comes to the first round, looking for sustained success against top competition eases the concerns that show up at the combine.

Seems that if was viewed as a "top 64" guy, a year of play could support a boost to a "top 32" ranking. I just would rather go with someone a little more bona fide.

I hope the Bears don’t trade up at all. This isn’t the draft to do that and the 2 second round picks are needed to fill out the roster with some very good starters.
I hope they do, several many times. Just so I can come on here and watch grown ass men completely melt the **** down and throw whiny temper tantrums worse then my god daughter, who's 7.

Wouldn't it be nice for once to see the Bears do something like trade down and then grab Walter Nolen and then have someone like Stewart fall and they trade back into the first to grab him because of production concerns and you stack your defensive line for the next decade. Or you grab the kid from Minnesota and Zabel and you develop them to be your future on the offensive line.

You theoretically have two WRs that could play here for the next 5 years you have a RB that can get it done. Build up the fucking trenches.

Why wait, it's starting already! All it takes is a rumor from any rando on Twitter to set people off.

Chill guys, it's lying season as they say. It could be that Poles is actually trying to move back in the draft.

Im chill I know its lying season but if they do this I’ll be pretty disappointed.

I mean I would rather they make smart moves. 🤷‍♂️

But draft day meltdowns ARE entertaining

I'm here on this one with you. Getting a tackle in the top 50 with a couple years at LT under his belt would be good for this team, and there's a lot of good options at guard that could be there in the third round for our pick. And a stronger rotation on the DL with top talents will help get us out of the cellar of the NFCN. I'm not sure there's a price in unwilling to pay to protect Caleb Williams, and I'd very much like to treat opposing QBs to the kind of pressure that ours had to last year.

I'm off on Poles but this wouldn't be something I hated. If they see Carter as a potential HOF DE - it would be a move that would get me excited.

But this will be the 4th 2nd rounder that Poles will have traded away. With his miss rate on picks in the 3rd and later you're looking at an unsustainable situation.
