So far:

Jager Burton/ center

Kayden McDonald/ NT

Zion Young/ edge

De'Zfaun Stribling/WR

Jimmy Rolder/ LB

Seth McGowan/RB

Antererio Washington/DT

Max Iheanachor/RT

Brian Parker/OL/C

Dan Villari/TE

James Brockermeyer/center

Jimmy Rolder/LB

This is all I can find so far. Anyone know of anyone else?

It has been reported that they only bring in players that they have questions about. Then decide if they don't or do want them.

It has been reported that every pick we took last year came in for a visit. Also they are not required to report all visits and tell some agents not to talk about it.

Local school and Chicago people get to come in that don't get applied to the 30 visit list unless they want to.

I don't think any 30 visit is a smoke screen action. I think they may like or dislike a player and we don't know the answer.

So far 3 centers and 3 DL if that may disclose positions of interest.

I have seen some pundits say he will play S in the pros? I think he is too small for that.

What say you

I don’t see it. I know he’s a good tackler but I don’t think he’s big enough for safety. More of a nickel if anything, though I think he could survive in the outside.

I read the Bears are bringing in LT Caleb Lomu and DT Dominque Orange for visits.

Here is a list, heard Rolder wont count bc hes kocal.

Indiana DE Mikail Kamara

Kentucky RB Seth McGowan

Kentucky C Jager Burton

Ole Miss WR De’Zhaun Stribling

Michigan LB Jimmy Rolder

Syracuse TE Dan Villari

Ohio State DT Kayden McDonald

Duke C Brian Parker II

Missouri DE Zion Young

Washington DT Anterio Thompson

ASU OT Max Iheanachor

Miami C James Brockermeyer

Miami DB Keionte Scott

Rutgers QB Athan Kaliakma

Looking at the players' positions, it is encouraging that they have 3 centers listed. I am very leery of the guy we picked up from NE.

Maye was sacked 47 times. Now, it's not all on the Center, but???

The Bears did a lot of home work on Garrett Bradbury for center. Ben's offense is very complex and they wanted someone who can handle everything so there is no drop off from Dahlman. I don't think we will notice a difference and see better snaps.

I'm sure you're right. However, just because they confirm he was the best option to turn to doesn't mean there will not be a big drop-off. I read he was ranked 30 out of 40 qualifying centers in 2025. The encouraging point is that he will be sandwiched between two outstanding guards.

It’s a really good center draft so I’d be shocked if the Bears don’t get a center of the future in the middle rounds.

and I still don’t buy OT in the first round.

I hope they draft one (center) to start a pipeline. It was disgusting seeing all the guys they traded for or signed since Kreutz. We finally get Dahlman and he decides to retire.

Bradbury didn't have a penalty or give up a sack last year. To many people gage players by PFF ratings. By next year, no one will notice Dalman was gone.

I mentioned this in another thread but there literally 10-12 guys you could get in rounds 2-4 and maybe even 5 who seem like viable future starting centers. Whichever one they think is the best fit works for me.

Their are several available and most are third round and latter. He doesn't have to start right away, so they will decide the upside. I like the 2 tackles that will project to center. Kuhn and Parker, bigger bodies. It could be a 7th round James Brockermeyer.

The more I look at this list and the guys I see mocked to the Bears, it’s hard for me to believe they would draft either Caleb Banks or Peter Woods without bringing them in for a visit given questions about their motor and productivity. Maybe they did and kept it quiet I guess.

For last year it was stated by a few pundits that everyone we drafted, we had a visit with. If true some were not reported and keep quiet, maybe by design.

The OL coach stated in an interview that some prospects were brought in because they had questions. The answer could be not to draft them.

They can have local and regional players in and not have to report. Some prospects that come in could be told not to mention.

When they draft then we can follow up to see if came in for a visit. Poles is good at keeping secrets. That's why I never believe anyone has inside information. I think people just guessing.

I’ve seen people say that all the players drafted had come in for a 30 visit (like Greg Gabriel) but I’m pretty sure that’s not true. If you watch the post-draft video from last year, Loveland pretty clearly says he’s never been to the Bears facility. I’m pretty sure Burden, Trapilo, and Turner didn’t visit either even though they met with those guys at the combine/senior bowl I think.

I never researched it and it doesn't really matter to me anyways but Greg still has friends working in the NFL and player agents contacts. That's more input than most bears pundits.
