If Jeanty, T-McMillan and Will Johnson are on the board at #9, who are you taking? (23 Viewers)

Fix this team from the inside out. We need to fix the trenches before we can look at these skills positions. Fans get so enamored with the flashy guys.

This is said every year. We have premium picks selected players all across our OLine.

Give me a Brian Thomas Jr, who can take it the distance in one play

To me it would be a decision between Tet and Johnson. While Jeanty is talented you just don't find shut down corners of 6'4 possession type receivers every day that run sub 4.5. We invested in Kamara and we have a pretty high draft choice on Miller. There are also more late round RB's that turn into quality players over some other positions. I personally take Tet but Johnson would be a strong consideration.

This is how I view it too. There will RBs available in later rounds who can be the heir apparent and or sidekick to Kamara later in the draft. I’m not so sure there will be a big bodied possession WR1 available if Tet is available at 9 and we don’t draft him. Olave isn’t a #1 target you can rely on to win those contested catches consistently to move the chains or score, and every SB winner in the last 5-10 years is more likely to have a dominant #1 receiving option (whether at TE or WR) than the bellcow type RB1.

That would be great if there was a guy in this draft that could do that and would make sense at #9, but I don't think there is. That is unless you are one that thinks Jeanty will have elite RB speed in the NFL. And, if he really does, I doubt he is there at #9.

Seems likely that our choices will be someone from the group of Tet, Warren, Will Johnson, Jalon Walker, and Jahdae Barron.

I voted for Johnson. I believe the difference between him and any available at 40 is much greater than WR or RB.

At 40: Fannin jr., and Tre Harris,

Kaleb Johnson- RB, Iowa

Quinshon Judkins, RB, OSU

At 71:
Xavier Restrepo WR | Miami- slot
Savion Williams WR | TCU
Elic Ayomanor WR Stanford
Jack Bech WR TCU
Jayden Higgins Iowa St..

Kalel Mullings, RB, Michigan Probably around at 95 or even 112

Donovan Edwards, RB, Michigan - I have never seen rated higher than 180

TreVeyon Henderson, RB, OSU possible but not probable.


These are just the way my targeting works.

You take McMillan and then take Skattebo with the next pick cause Jeanty will be gone. Skattebo may end up being the better back in the long run.

Jahdee Barron would have something to say about that. He's probably as ideal of a scheme fit for our secondary as there is and played under our new secondary coach.

So you think Barron lasts to #40?

I've seen him all over the place so who knows. He hasn't played too much man coverage so that could knock him down or off some boards.

That's fair. I like the player, but I also would like to move Taylor back to the Slot so I would prefer an outside Corner early in the draft, but there is no guarantee that Taylor is going to be a great Slot so I'd have no issue with the pick, especially at 40.

“Every time we want to start talking about Jeanty…”

Taylor will also be a FA at the end of this year and if the Bears and DA say we'll pay you like an outside CB then unless we plan on playing him outside and paying him like it we're up sheets creek.

I'm going Tet then Johnson, I'm not taking Jeanty unless I'm moving Kamara. You have immediate needs at WR and DB you don't have that at RB.

I may be wrong about big bodied WRs outside of Tet in the 1st after reading this. Higgins is the only other big WR I like in the first two rounds for that role that I had forgotten about. I still think I prefer Tet + R2/3 RB than Jeanty + R2/3 WR, but I wouldn’t be upset either way from a big-bodied WR perspective if we landed Tet or Higgins.

I also like Williams from TCU for that role too in R3-5, but his drops concern me. Apparently his are mostly concentration drops as his contested catch rate is phenomenal. Plus, he also has Cordrelle Patterson type RB skills that could be very useful, and he’s 6’5” 225lbs or something crazy like that w good speed and agility.

Cam thinks it’s this guy and I am with him. I still don’t think he slides to 9 though

I would prefer Barron at 9 over any other DB/CB if that’s the position we go w at 9.
