He's Alvin Kamara clone and will catch for 600-850 yards a season or more.
  • Has been clocked at 22.3 MPH on one of his 70+ yard touchdowns
  • Great pass catcher with a more advanced route tree than would be expected of a RB

Might not get out of the 1st round and if he does, will not be there at Baltimore’s pick that the bears own. If Bears were to draft him, they would need an additional 2nd from a trade down that falls in the top half of the round.

Gibbs would be a luxury with the needs the Bears have, but would be an upgrade in an already good running game as well as a threat as a receiver.

As good of a pass catcher as this guy is, I still think he is maybe the 3rd best pass catching RB in this draft! That's how good this draft class is!

not just about being a receiver or threat, the guy is built for the zone running scheme and has great vision and his moves are sudden without losing speed.

The Bears need weapons. Whether they come out wide, slot, tight or the backfield. A RB with his level talent is a need.

No. Drafting positions that aren’t weapons on O are a luxury.

1.) Bijan Robinson
2.) Deuce Vaughn
3.) Jahmyr Gibbs
I think Gibbs is the #1 receiving back. I think McIntosh is 2nd or 3rd, depending on how you feel about Vaughn's size. He's probably a better receiver overall, but is such a small target that I don't think you can really run him on a full route tree or line him out wide like you can with Gibbs or McIntosh.

Bijan is good at everything, and I'm probably discounting him because he's a monumentally better runner than everyone else. I'd rank them Gibbs, McIntosh, Vaughn, Robinson, but I can buy any order.

Went to school with Deuce’s parents and actually have known his mom since we were teenagers. He was born to play football, his size is his only liability.. 4th or 5th round I would love Deuce 2 Be a Bear….

This is splitting hairs, so I’m not going to disagree with you. The issue with people when it comes to Bijan is that he doesn’t have the volume of receptions. When you watch his receptions, his ability is there, so I’m more projecting out his ability.

Vaughn’s size is the only issue. If he were 4 inches taller and 40 lbs heavier, he may have given Bijan a run for his money as #1 overall back.
