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.

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
I really don’t give a **** what they do now actually. They are in the position to do whatever they want. If I wanted to do something else, then I would have applied for the GM job.

Poles and company, do whatever trade you have to do. Trade up, trade down, or stay put. Just fucking hit on most picks you pick. It’s time to become a winning team. And we don’t expect a superstar at every position because it’s impossible to have a superstar in every position with the salary cap. And that’s fine. Just pick players that don’t fully suck. Pick players that can make plays here and there. Good back up players.

Just start drafting quality players. And if you want to trade the whole kitchen sink for one player today, and you feel confident with everyone else that’s on the team, then **** it. But we better see it play out.
