Yet another player I have seen as low as the second round. This draft has zero consensus in the media.
Because other than the overall depth of the defensive line class it's a shit draft for talent.

I'm pretty much to the point where I'm begging for the Bears to trade down rather than trying to get cute and think their scouting is better than everyone else and they can get a traits guy and make him a player because of Ben Johnson and coaching. This is still a Jimmy's and Joes game no matter how good Johnson is. Everyone should know this based on Brock Purdy and Jared Goff's failures.

Except Amon-Ra wasn’t on a losing team and didn’t keep fucking up every week. And Campbell ain’t no Belichick, not by a long shot.
Are you saying the podcasts caused Kmet to play bad because he wasn’t focusing on football? Or are you saying only productive players should be allowed to do podcasts? Very confusing argument you are making.

As with many of these RB’s I would love him on the Bears. Just not at 10.
Would you rip your dick off if we drafted him anywhere in the 1st round if we found a trade down or just at #10 and if so then where is your limit in the 1st round?

Is Hampton the best back in the draft from The Athletic.

Dane Brugler was on the panel.

“Dane: I think it’s a conversation — and I like Hampton a lot. He is my number two running back, but if I ran strictly outside zone, and that’s the type of running back I wanted, Kaleb Johnson from Iowa would absolutely be part of that conversation. Because that’s where he got his master’s degree, outside zone. He’s just so adept at it. But with Hampton, he can do gap or zone, and he’d be fine in whatever blocking scheme you’re running, but he also has a lot of the physical traits that you want.

He’s got a thick square build, he’s got speed, run strength. He can really tilt the field with that forward lean, so he’s going to barrel through tacklers. His burst for a 220-pound athlete is also really impressive. He is another guy that has some of the running back-specific traits in terms of his ability to read blocks, set up defenders, and cut back. He’s really strong off his plant foot, so he has speed in and out of his cuts, and he can catch the ball in the backfield.

Those pivot routes they ran at North Carolina over and over and over again show that. The best compliment you can pay Omarion Hampton is that last year, he ran for over 1,400 yards with Drake Maye as his quarterback. This year, where it was basically the Omarion Hampton show and nobody else, he still ran for over 1,400 yards. He was still productive, even though the passing game was not there. So all-purpose rushing yards, it didn’t matter what was going on around him with the quarterback or offensive line, he was able to produce. He’s not the most creative back, but he has that mix of bruising speed and vision.

I will without a doubt guarantee that the Bears won't pick Henderson at 10. Hampton is another story. I think that's very possible
Yeah i agree, well i won't put it as a guarantee cause i've seen things crazy happen in drafts but i'll be in the high 90's that it won't either. I also don't think he drops to #39 but that's a much bigger possibility over us taking him at #10 IMO. Hopefully they don't make some dumb trade back into the bottom of the 1st for him.
