NFL Scouts’ Surprise Center Rankings May Reveal Chicago Bears’ Draft Plans

The Chicago Bears are going to draft a center. We’ve already been seeing the signs for the past several weeks. Drew Dalman’s retirement really threw a wrench into their plans, forcing general manager Ryan Poles to swing a deal for veteran Garrett Bradbury. However, this is a temporary solution. Bradbury is in the final year of his contract and already in his 30s. The team must think about long-term options in the upcoming draft. They’ve already met with three projected centers in the 2026 class.
