Bears targeting top prospect Jeanty in draft trade
The Chicago Bears are considering a major trade to secure a top pick in the upcoming NFL Draft, which could help them land star running back Ashton Jeanty. The Bears currently hold the No. 10 pick but may need to move up to ensure they get Jeanty before other teams, like the Las Vegas Raiders, can draft him. Jeanty, who was a standout player at Boise State, finished as the Heisman Trophy runner-up. He led the nation with 2,601 rushing yards and scored 29 touchdowns during his season, falling just short of the college football single-season rushing record held by Barry Sanders. Experts believe he would be an immediate impact player for the Bears. The Raiders, who have the No. 6 pick, have multiple roster needs and could be open to trading that pick. A deal could involve the Bears offering extra draft picks to make the trade happen. If the Bears land Jeanty, he and current running back D'Andre Swift could form a strong duo, enhancing the Bears’ rushing offensive game. Additionally, the Bears have been improving their offensive line this offseason. Securing Jeanty could be a key move to boost their overall performance next season.
