They traded for Garrett Bradbury, but given he\u2019s on the last year on his current deal, the expectation was that he would be a one-year rental to keep the offensive line afloat.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Jones factors into the mix as an experienced offensive lineman who\u2019s battle-tested at the Big Ten level. He\u2019s a true center who should be able to push Bradbury for a starting spot, and given the fact that the Bears selected him in the second round, the organization likely thinks so, as well.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">As I\u2019ve done since 2019, I put together a thread involving my analysis of each Bears draft selection, sharing some clips that highlight their strengths along the way. This year is certainly no different, so here\u2019s my quick-hit evaluation of the Bears selecting Jones in Round 2.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With the No. 57 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, the Chicago Bears selected Iowa center Logan Jones.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":605498,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[180932,79569,71345,399,180935,398,396,397,12087,99,263101],"class_list":{"0":"post-605497","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ncaa-football","8":"tag-chicago-bears-analysis","9":"tag-chicago-bears-draft","10":"tag-chicago-bears-roster","11":"tag-football","12":"tag-from-the-desk-of","13":"tag-ncaa","14":"tag-ncaa-football","15":"tag-ncaafootball","16":"tag-notes","17":"tag-sports","18":"tag-xs-and-os"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/605497","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=605497"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/605497\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/605498"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=605497"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=605497"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=605497"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
