My point is and remains, there is going to be "value" picks at QB, CB, OL, DL, TE and S at every pick. I get the BPA and I'm fine with that to a degree but my point was that RB is likely the only position where there is any depth. WR could be considered that if Jeffrey stays in Chicago and off the PEDs. And if White can stay healthy and is 3/4 of what they thought he was. And if M. Wilson stays healthy. And if Meredith continues to improve. And if Royal, well, never mind....But that is a whole bunch of "ifs" at WR.

He is a weapon for sure but this is a loaded RB class and we have so many needs that I don't think you can justify taking a RB in the second round.
With how high well be picking in the 2nd round there is going to be some very good players there. Look at every draft and a lot of 1st round talent goes at the top of the 2nd.

I remember the last time the Bears spent a 1st round pick on a white RB from Stanford...
he is 17th on the all time Bears rushing list.......
draft a fullback in the first round......different times.....

Unless they're throwing, kicking, or blocking, I'll pass on the white kids.

He can't catch a cold so no he's not doing the same in the passing game.

Yeah...but running back depth goes thin on you really quickly too. MLB depth is nice. Langford is a #2 or 3 and Carey is a #3 at best. WR depth is ok if we sign Jeffery long term. I agree with your point, but caution against passing on Fournette, Cook, Chubbs. Some of the backs in this draft might be special players that can carry your team and make everybody better and all the depth remain on the bench. Protect the D, protect the O-line, QB and limit snaps on everyone by running the ball with a two headed monster.
We found Howard at value, and if McCaffery is there in the third he would be the good compliment back to Howard. Whoever we add should be able to catch the ball. I think Cook has been pretty good at screens and some catching from what I recall. Chubbs just won't go down and Fournette is a bull.
I guess its Cook or McCaffery or the guys I haven't seen yet for me, somebody who improves the versatility of RB and upgrades the depth.

I highly doubt he falls very far at all. Kid is a weapon. The RB I see falling is Chubb who has not been impressive this year aside from a few games.

lol, do you even watch the games? He may not catch every ball his way, but he can catch, and run after the catch. And as far as a "RUNNING" back...he's light years ahead of the runner that Forte was/is!
Jordan Howard is an absolute stud at running back!

I love the guy's talent but I am a build the line guy and they should take care of that this year. The guy would be fun to watch, though.

If you tell me there is a guy on either line that is as special a talent as CM, I go line all day, but I doubt that happens as there isn't nearly as much depth as there is at RB. That being said a dominant lineman is always more valuable IMO.

yeah, McCaphery has the speed you see go in first round. Cook or Chubbs more likely to slip with less tangibles and injury histories.

It will be interesting to see how far Fournette falls due to the injury concerns. He's the best college RB I've seen since Peterson. If he can stay healthy, he's the best RB in the league from day 1.

Would you take Leonard Fournette, people saying he's a once in a life time back!?
