I dont like it. But I'll be disappointed about them doing it and thrilled to have jeanty at the same time. But seriously, I hope they don't do it

Depends what they give up. If they give up 1 of the 2 second rounders and get back a 4th, it won't be that bad.

I have a plethora of reasons not to, but on principle alone, I’m not letting the guy who got the job over my buddy, Ian, bend me over.

Seems like the other way around is more likely

No it won't. It will merely affirm what we already know about Ryan Poles. When Poles had a guy he does stupid things. Claypool Davis Bates Leatherwood Johnson time and time again Poles develops a man crush on a football player and sets the Bears back.

The fact that a running back is being considered in the top 5 is compounded by how he ran all over a poor conference full of guys who won't be playing in the NFL. What's more is that he's not particularly big and not particularly explosive either. What's more than that is when you look at all the top 10 RB draft picks in the last 10 years, none have really translated to team success for the team that drafted the guy.
Trading up for that could end easily be a big disaster, especially when you're a team that's struggled to build the trenches. For as much work as we did there, all you need is another Billings injury and one to Thuney or Dalman and you're in a bad way yet again. For christ's sake, #trenches

Not sure if it has been mentioned, but a trending rumor is Jaxson Dart at 9. There may be a run on these shitty QBs! That is the best case scenario for the Bears.

This is a very dramatic take. The only one of those moves that really “set the bears back” was Claypool. Davis was a dud but hardly set them back…Bates cost a 5th and is currently their backup C who could also play OG, assuming he’s healthy.

You're not all wrong but you're using stupid examples. Claypool, sure. There was reportedly stiff competition in the trade market for him so we needed to offer a 2nd that the Steelers thought would be more valuable than the Packers' and then the wheels fell off to make it the 33rd overall pick. Poles certainly does seem to be a traits-based guy and Claypool was loaded with traits.
Davis wasn't overpaid or anything, he just sucked for whatever reason. I don't remember seeing Poles being "in love with Nate Davis." Bates is just a backup but he did overpay for him and Leatherwood was a dart throw.
A point against the narrative is how Cunningham convinced Poles to stand pat when he otherwise wanted to trade up for Odunze. At the end of the day, that's on Poles' record as hanging back and still getting his guy.
Jeanty isn't an outlier when it comes to size or speed so I wonder how much truth there is to Poles/Johnson's burning desire for him. And hopefully Poles learned from waiting on Odunze to not trade-up for Jeanty.
