Chicago Bears: Veterans in danger following 2018 NFL Draft

Center Hroniss Grasu

Count this as one of the more head-scratching decisions Pace has made in the draft since joining the Bears. While it may have looked good originally, especially noting that Grasu was college roommates with Kyle Long at Oregon, the pick hasn’t panned out.

Also head-scratching was the comment made by Chris Simms when assessing the Daniels pick in the second round over the weekend. I like Simms, but I’m unsure of why he would call Grasu a “pretty good center” when looking at the Bears’ offensive line.

Grasu has been anything but that.

The former Oregon Duck is going to need to show out in a big way over training camp if he’s going to stick on the roster. With Daniels and Whitehair being able to play center, along with Eric Kush being brought back who can also play multiple positions, it doesn’t seem like Grasu’s time with the Bears is going to continue much longer.

Daniels is a day-one starter. Kush is a solid backup. The Bears also want to give Jordan Morgan more time and seem to like Bradley Sowell enough to keep him around. Grasu looks like the odd man out at this point.
