Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Eric Edholm explains why Bears fell out of top 10 in his NFL power rankings

I'm again, I'm switching gears here, but in the sense of, you know, they didn't move up from that spot.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

They probably could have if they wanted to, uh, to get in range, um, of one of those guys, depending on who it was.

But they also kind of got ahead of the curve on the center market.

There was a lot of talk.

Some personnel guys thought it might start in round three.

So it ends up happening in the latter stages of round two, and they were really the first one to kind of kickstart that run.

And you saw a bunch of centers go off the board right after that.

You know, credit to the Bears, they identified a guy who I think kind of looks like Drew Dallman and gives Garrett Bradbury some nice insurance, probably grooming him for next year's starting position.

And, you know, so it's like, yes, in a vacuum, I would have loved to see one of those edge rush talents there.

But on the other hand, I get the logic there.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

And I understand why they would want to protect an asset for Bradbury, a guy who has some back injuries in his history.

And, you know, obviously they were a little bit burned by the Dallman situation, too.

And say the team again, I couldn't quite hear you.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

A lot going on with New England, right?

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

There is.

The whole situation with Brable and the reporter and everything.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

You know, they were a flawed team last year, too, and it was...

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

It was hard to grade them.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Eric Edholm explains why Bears fell out of top 10 in his NFL power rankings

I kept kind of holding back a little bit because I felt like, boy, they were really taking advantage of the easy schedule.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

The Eagles were a frustrating team because they were playing a hard schedule but never quite kind of broke through and played to that level we expected.
