what about his dominating college football numbers didn't sell you?

His conference and quality of competition.

I didn't say he sucked, but I don't think he stacks up to other recent Top 10 RBs.

I'm just not sold on Jeanty when compared to the other RBs in this draft. I think he could be a good starter and a reliable RB, and he would be a decent pick at 10, but trading assets to get him when this team needs depth would feel deflating.

The team needs impact more than it needs depth

I just think it would be a poor use of draft picks when this team has more needs than just a RB, even though I expect Jeanty to be a very good pro RB. I think a trade up would result in the Bears being able to draft one less starting quality player in this draft

It's only a "poor use of draft picks" if you traded up and don't land the guy you are targeting. I personablly believe the Bears are interested in trading up for Jeanty, partly because they do love him but also there is nobody that will be available @ 10 they covet. I rather the Bears trade up for a guy they covet instead of staying put and settling for a guy they only like.

That is reasonable but also how the bears got Trubisky.

My heart stopped for a moment thinking they were about to say Bears as they announced the Jags trade.

The lack of top competition does give me just a twinge of concern for Jeanty.  I don’t think he will be there anyway.

No Jeanty to Bears. Raiders took him. Trade down?

Unless Warren makes it to ten, then yeah...trade down. But if they stay at 10, anybody but Mike Green.
