Typically, we talk about good years for center in the draft.

We're talking about middle round prospects and there's several guys this year.

And so my guess is going to be that the Bears are still willing to invest in the position with a rookie.

And then they're going to kind of let Bradbury and the rookie figure it out when it comes to training camp.

I don't know if I'm as confident, but I am confident.

And the reason why I'm confident, as we talk about the Bears and their free agent signings to this point through one day of the negotiating period here on Rahimi Harris and Grody on 104.3 The Score, is this.

My confidence in Ben Johnson is unwavering.

And if Ben Johnson obviously signed off on these moves, he'll figure it out.

Because that's his job as not only the head coach, but the offensive schemer, the playmaker, the guy who draws up the plays.

I think Ben Johnson will scheme this through.

I also think the Bears will draft, as we just said, a

backup offensive lineman but they'll draft a guy who's going to be the center of the future coming up i think that was always going to be the plan they thought they'd have more time to develop behind drew dalman you might not have as much time but i think they're going to be able to figure this out really because they've never drafted a dedicated center under ryan poles ryan poles won't be the one making that call this year ben johnson will be telling him this is what we need ryan poles is still the general manager you think ben johnson did all of the scouting

Ryan Poles is the general manager under Ben Johnson's direction in my mind, and no one can convince me otherwise.

No, I'm saying based on...

You have to get what the coach, both on defense and offense, needs, whether it's Dennis Allen as the defensive coordinator, whether it's Ben Johnson as the offensive play caller.

You think Ryan Poles isn't going to Ben Johnson and being like, hey, does this work?

They went out and addressed it last year through free agency by signing Drew Dallman, the best available center.

So obviously that was a priority.

If you think Ryan Poles isn't in conversation with Ben Johnson, trying to find out exactly what Ben Johnson needs to make his offense work –

I don't know what to tell you because that's the way this has clearly gone down based on what happened last year.
