Future Bears and NFL Combine Workout Warriors to Watch, and More! | Mailbag

Tackling Your NFL Questions!

It’s the Friday before the Super Bowl, and while the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles go through their final preparations for a rematch of epic proportions, in New Orleans, 30 other teams are knee-deep in free agency and NFL Draft prep.

The business of the NFL never slows down, and so this week’s mailbag features questions about how the Bears might begin rebuilding their offensive line, the prospects the Tampa Bay Buccaneers might have their eyes on in this spring’s NFL Draft, and much more!

Before I head over to the kitchen to start prepping the wings for Sunday afternoon, let’s dive head-first into your questions!

Good centers rarely hit the free-agent market in their prime. How good is Drew Dalman, really, and would the Bears make him a priority? (@ TheTellurian) on BlueSky.

You’re absolutely right, centers are one of the more underrated but vitally important positions on a roster.

Just look at the Philadelphia Eagles’ success with Jason Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs’ anchored by Creed Humphrey, and the instant upgrade in Washington combined with the Cowboys’ regression after allowing Tyler Biadasz to walk out the building to sign with the Commanders last spring.
