Ashton Jeanty is on the wish list of many Chicago Bears fans with three weeks remaining before the draft. Thanks to a productive early March that saw general manager Ryan Poles add five starters to the trenches, the Bears have the flexibility to add a skilled player No. 10 if they want.
Unfortunately, No. 10 might be too late for the Bears to draft Jeanty. The New York Giants, who pick at No. 3, and the Las Vegas Raiders, who pick at No. 6, are two teams that could use the top running back prospect in the draft.
The Chicago Bears are looking at plenty of RBs

New Bears head coach Ben Johnson has said he’d like to upgrade the backfield before the season. During the annual league meeting this week, Johnson said there are plenty of options for the Bears in April.
“There’s a lot of flavors to be had here,” Johnson said, via the Bears’ website. “Value [on] Day 1, Day 2, all the way through Day 3, and I think there’s going to be a lot of good undrafted prospects as well this year, particularly at that position.
“I’ll be curious to hear what [running backs coach] Eric Bieniemy has to say. I’ve seen him in the office a few times now and he’ll be like, ‘Man, I really like this guy. I really like that guy.’ I know he’s passionate about a few of these guys this year.”

The Bears reportedly have a serious interest in another running back besides Jeanty.
Per Benjamin Allbright of KOA Colorado, the Bears have kept a “keen eye” on Ohio State running back TreVeyon Henderson.
I think if Hampton isn’t there that is a consideration.
Henderson is someone the Bears have kept a keen eye on too.

At 22, Henderson spent all four years of his college career at Ohio State.
The native of Hopewell, Virginia, appeared in 47 games for Ohio State and started 37. The five-foot-10, 202-pound athlete recorded 590 carries for 3,761 yards, and 42 touchdowns. He added 853 yards receiving and six touchdowns in the passing game.
In a recent mock draft by Chad Reuter of NFL.com, Henderson projects as a middle second-round pick.
