Should Chicago Bears double-dip at center this offseason?

And we need a competent backup C for when (not "if" but when) the starting C goes down to injury, as we have seen here in recent years.  I am so tired of seeing opposing defenses collapsing the pocket - so that there IS no pocket to work out of.  Caleb Williams deserves to have that (at least) here in Chicago.  That's why I'm thinking we should double dip at C.  

Don't you get tired of watching our quarterbacks here in Chicago running for their lives on gamedays?  Man, I am 100% sick of it.

If ever want our QB to pass from the pocket - then he needs a pocket to work out of.  The C is the bedrock foundation of the interior OL.  If your C sucks, your OL sucks.  Period.

I know.  No QB is going to get a lot of time in the pocket to work.  Not consistently anyway.  And a QB has to be elusive within the pocket - or rolling out to extend a play.  But the best QBs have enough time to work, at least a lot of the time.  It's not a non-existent thing like the Bears QBs often have to endure.  Fields helped the OL a ton by being a crazy good athlete.  If he was not so elusive the OL stats would have been bottom of the league bad.  But there is a cost to not having the time to run your passing offense... and we've seen that.  But you're right, that doesn't mean a QB in the NFL now can calmly take his time in a perfect pocket.  That doesn't exist.  What I want to see this year for our new QB, is to not have the defensive players in his face almost instantly.  That is SO disruptive to any QB when there is consistent pressure like that all game long.  

I am ready to just say screw it and draft Powers-Johnson #9 and take the best WR money can buy in free agency. Get the other lineman with the pick we get for Fields next week.

I like all three of these guys:
