Chicago Bears: 7-round mock draft 3.0 (with trades!)
By Ryan Heckman
. . C. Arkansas. 2. player. Frank Ragnow. 57
Pick made by William Martin @W_M_Martin
In a sea of great interior offensive linemen in this year’s draft class, there is one player who doesn’t get a ton of love.
Frank Ragnow missed a lot of last season due to a high ankle sprain, which later required surgery. Luckily for him, he should be ready for training camp. While we look to James Daniels and Billy Price as the top of the center class, Ragnow gets lost in the mix.
Was it because he missed about half of the season? More than likely. But Frank the Tank could be coming in at a discount for the Bears. Courtesy of the Buffalo Bills, Chicago will be getting a first-round quality lineman.
One unique number with the former Razorback: zero.
Out of a possible 2,603 collegiate snaps, Ragnow gave up a grand total of zero sacks.
It’s possible that another team in the middle of round one may see the potential with this run-blocking dynamo and get him early. Granted he has some pass-blocking chops as well.
Frank Ragnow should be every bit a first round pick at center in this draft. It doesn't look as pretty as Quenton Nelson, but it's pretty much as effective. Say bye bye linebacker: pic.twitter.com/CL65QVoKht

Adding him here lets the Bears move Cody Whitehair to left guard. Ragnow slots in between him and Kyle Long — highway robbery on Pace’s part. The Bears solidify their starting offensive line going into camp, thanks to Ragnow.
