So the Chicago Bears are apparently ready to jump from No. 10 to No. 5 in the draft like it’s a trampoline contest and not the NFL. And for what? A running back. Yes, seriously. Not a QB. Not a game-wrecking edge. Not a franchise tackle. A running back.
Teams believe the #Bears are trying to move up from pick No. 10 in an effort to select Boise State RB Ashton Jeanty, per @DMRussini. pic.twitter.com/nlr1Lrola7

Name to know: Ashton Jeanty. Boise State. Stud. Beast. Built like he was raised on truck stops and cold weather. Rumors flying, Bears insiders buzzing, and betting odds shifting faster than your buddy changing his March Madness picks — all signs point to Chicago going full throttle to grab him.
The partner in this possible madness? Jacksonville Jaguars. Sitting at No. 5. Playing it cool. No one’s quite sure what they’re up to. Could be eyeing a wideout like Tetairoa McMillan. Could be bluffing. Could be watching the chaos unfold with popcorn in hand. Total poker face over there.
Bears fans? Split down the middle. Half are foaming at the mouth imagining Jeanty taking handoffs in Soldier Field snow. Other half screaming “you don’t trade up for a running back in 2025 unless he’s made in a lab.”
