You could argue Henderson played a much tougher schedule but then their results against Oregon are interesting. Albeit Jeanty played the Ducks much earlier in the season. But he ran up nearly 200 yards.

Less likely because neither wants to lose the deal. Without Cunningham and with reports that trade deals are likely going to be 70% of normal trade value we can theoretically get a bargain for a blue chip player. I can’t see Cunningham giving his old boss a 30% discount. Or the new boss will be plenty upset.

An (arguably) more reputable source. Of course, there’s also rumors that the Jags are trying to move up to #2.

I think after pick 3, all the teams would prefer to trade down. Jeanty is a stud, but Henderson is not far behind. Where would Henderson be if these two switched teams. One was the feature at a smaller school and the other split w Judkins and other near pro ready talent.

Here's something to chew on: Does the fact that Jacksonville didn't hire Ian Cunningham make it less likely that the Bears will trade up for Jeanty? I remember Cunningham keeping Poles from trading up for Odunze. If he wasnt here this year, maybe Poles would be more untethered? And the irony is that rpoerts say we are talking to the Jags about a trade up. And like I just said, talking and doing are two different things. But if Jacksonville have Cunningham at GM, would it have made a Bears trade with them more likely? Irony! lol

I want the beef, but the kid in me wants Jeanty.

Poles doesnt really hae to leak it. If you think about it, this is the guy who interviewed a thousand coaches when he knew it was Ben Johnson all along. He is definitely thorough. He's also said the phones have been ringing. So my guess is that he was in talks with everyone asking the price to move up, to move down etc. Not because hes going to do it, but just to have all the data for any scenario. So then a bunch of GMs talk to eachother, and they share the info that Poles is feeling around. Then Schefter hears it and reports it. So it's TRUE, but it doesn't mean Poles is actually doing anything either. That's my guess.

280 pound minimum. We have the #10 chip, might as well come home with some mass and fill the freezer. 🐂

Beef, Jeanty or Warren, in order of wish list. Beef selection doesn't matter...

This isn’t the only site reporting this but I agree with many here… take it with a grain of salt. Poles doesn’t leak so if anything it would be New England trying to boost the value of their pick.

LOL

Would you trade 10 to Chargers for 22-55-86 ?' Harbaugh wanting his college TE, Colston Loveland? On trade value chart, points work out. That's at the spot of the draft to get Josh Conerly or Kenneth Grant.

I don't know Winston, but I believe you. I guess he and Simmons are in somewhat of the same position, and both available to be sure. I know about 50 or 60 players. 35 or so near the top, and then some favorites sprinkled through the rounds. There are lots of great 3rd round and lower guys I've never heard of. I know Poles has! But if he's a stud at S, and we have a year for him to rehab and get well before needing him next year, that's a plus for sure.

Winston was a 1st round prospect and blew his acl. He could be a value at rd 3, especially having Brisker/Byard.

I really like S Malakai Starks - he wont be there in the 2nd, but in mocks he is sometimes. If the right DL is there, you gotta take em, but I love Starks' game too. He's a real ballhawk who can hit too.

I completely agree and every mock I do thinking my way is oline (Banks) round 1. Too many DTs, RBs round 2. I'd even trade down with one to get a S or TE round 3. Winston from Penn St would be a 3rd round steal.

I want the OT, but I totally get the love for Jeanty, and if that's what happens I'm gonna love him. i just think if you do that, you might have to trade the 2nds up into the bottom of the first round for an OT, at maybe pick 20. And I hate that! Then again, if all we got was Jeanty and Ersery or Simmons (with a good bill of health?) that's still be a pretty damned good Draft. But would Banks, Kaleb Johnson or TreVayon at HB, and a 2nd round pick on defense be better? Thats how much better I think Jeanty has to be. And maybe he is!

The position with the least failure rate in round 1 is oline. I think a RB at 10 better be an all-pro and Jeanty looks the part. He won't last and they have other holes to plug to trade up.

Not all risks are the same. The odds that Banks will be great in the NFL are better than 50%. If they draft Banks, he will start on day 1. Even if hes better by game 9 than he is in game 1. He will still start. We are comparing the risks of Banks becoming a dominant LT vs Amagadje becoming one? And you're saying because there are risks on both sides, it's even? All risks are the same? I feel like we've been over this ground before.

I agree, and he may even want OL anyway.

Ben Johnson said they don't expect Jones to be ready. Poles said they will bring in competition for LT. Jones deal is up at the end of the year. If there isn't a playmaker that can put up more points to than Swift, Moore, Odunze, or Kmet available, Johnson will want oline.

You take risk with draft picks, 50% fail in the first round. It may take a year to get acclimated to the NFL which means he wouldn't starting his first year. Anthony Becton failed and Eagles got him on the cheap and made him a RG. Nothing comes with guarantees.

Agreed

I agree it means nothing. Im saying that you can see how it was "true" that Poles actually did discuss the price of moving up, which generates a Schafter report that isnt a lie, but neither does it signal ANYTHING about what Poles will do! So it's true and worthless all at the same time. Schefter isnt lying, it just doesnt mean anything.
