Do we have Howard`s replacement or do we have to draft a RB early?Why? What exactly would the Bears be "deciding" in 2020?

Ummmm, there's a lot of conflict with what you just posted. Can carry the load as a feature back yet compliments a slower work horse back already on the roster? Putting everything together, you are saying we need a 3 down feature back lol. Otherwise, we have Cohen who does all of that minus the work horse part.Ideally we draft a guy like Alvin Kamara.
3rd round
Lots of speed
Compliments a slower work horse back already on roster
Can return kick offs, checking that box
Can split wide and run routes
Can also carry the load between the tackles as a feature back
I never said that Notre Dame always had terrible players. It would be a crime if all Notre Dame players were crappy, seeing that they are always in the top 10 in college recruit signings.
What I am saying is that some people on here want to sign all Notre Dame players, not because they were good, but because they see them through gold-colored glasses and think that the ineffective players were little used so they will be fresh and sure to make the leap in talent in the NFL.
The reality most often is that the player is fresh because the college coaches found out that the players were poor fits for their team, making their chances of success in the NFL near zero, and benched them for better players.
Ummmm..yeah...no.Ummmm, there's a lot of conflict with what you just posted. Can carry the load as a feature back yet compliments a slower work horse back already on the roster?

Ummmm..yeah...no.
If Howard goes down Cohen isnt an every down starting rb.
A compliment to Howard means someone who is explosive (Howard isnt) and can be a full time rb (Cohen isnt)
Regrettably, this is how fans & media outside of Chicago are starting to feel about Mitch Trubisky.

What the fuck does Trubisky have to do with a thread regarding running backs the Bears should draft?
What I'm getting at is that what you call a "compliment" to Howard, is in fact a replacement for Howard. Someone who can do what Howard does plus is explosive?? Hello, that's called an upgrade, not a compliment.
In fact, what you are describing in in fact what a complete RB is. It is also something that EVERY team in the NFL is looking for (provided they don't already have one).
Don't think Henderson will be there low in the third. If it came down to it I would rather have James Williams than Hill.Darrell Henderson and Justice Hill have the big play ability to make a lot happen on limited carries.

Most draft publications don't even have him in the top 100 prospects.
Very easy to see a scenario where Josh Jacobs, Damien Harris, David Montgomery, Benny Snell, Devin Singletary, Justice Hill, Elijah Holyfield all go in front of him.
Shit, even Royce anderson and Bryce Love have a chance to go in front of him.
Its very easy to see a scenario where Henderson is available in the 3rd round. I don't really expect anyone but Josh Jacobs to go round 1.
Myles Gaskin anyone?
The back we draft will be a replacement for Howard in 2020
I dont see the bears moving Howard and his cheap salary this off season as his value is greater to the bears than it is in the trade market.
When I say compliment; I'm referring to someone who has home run ability...not a plodder like Howard (latavius Murray, lagarret Blount, etc)
Looks like he may go as high as the 2nd. I've found this site most accurate over the years. https://footballmaven.io/nfldraftscout/ Still early though. I like Anderson or Hill depending on medicals.
