Bears Aquire OL Ryan Bates from Buffalo

Interesting. And I agree with Poles probably not liking only having 5 picks in the draft. For a guy that wants to build using the draft, that means he is almost for sure moving down. He doesn't have anything in the 2nd so, I think he is moving down with one of the first two picks. He can get an impact player at each of those positions, so was hoping he would use them, but I can't see him sticking with 5 picks.

In a way, getting a good center in the 5th round is a great use of the 5th round pick. But of course, he is more expensive and older than a C draft pick. Didn't see this coming, but then that's why I don't even think about doing mocks. They are going to do what they do and you won't know til they do it, so why not just wait til they do it?

I hope that’s not true. He was a backup last year and wasn’t great in 2022. He should be considered a depth piece, not the solution at center. At least he only costs a 5th round pick.

Unless Odunze is available, I hope he tries to trade down.

An undrafted guy.  He was a backup last year. He only got 35 snaps.  The year before that he was a RG.  Yeah, this is a depth player at best, and not too impressed.
