Vincent Murphy (Western Kentucky) Murphy caught my eye while watching the Ohio State DL (See video). He's a former South Carolina recruit playing center for this first time this year and he's having success. His 88.4 pass blocking grade is 4th amongst centers

I did a mock draft the other day & had the Bears selecting Georgia C Sedrick Van Pran. Someone commented saying Van Pran is in every Bears mock draft. And he's right. So I decided to put a thread together of other Centers in the 2024 NFL Draft. Ill update this as we go 🧵🧵🧵

Zach Frazier (West Virginia) Frazier is the other most well known OC prospect. I am still months away from finalizing rankings but if I did today he would be my OC1. This rep is from 2022 but you can see the rotational strength he possesses to get 350 lb Siaki Ika to the ground

Duke Clemens (UCLA) UCLA OL coach Tim Drevno has coached a lot of NFL OLmen & Clemens will be the next. By the end of the year, he will have over 3K career snaps and is currently PFF's 5th highest graded center. The Bears need someone to start week 1 so his experience is a big +

Gus Hartwig (Purdue) Hartwig is taller than your normal C @ 6'5 and can sometimes struggle with leverage because of it. But he's a fluid mover in space and can get to the second level with ease. He also is a good pass blocker with an 83.1 PBLK grade so far this season

Jackson Powers-Johnson (Oregon) JPJ is a Junior so he could decide to go back to school. But he also has the potential to be OC1 on draft day. He is PFF's highest grade pass blocking C and 2nd best overall. This rep is one of my favorites from any OL ive scouted this season.

Hunter Nourzad (Penn State)

Drake Nugent (Michigan) Nugent is undersized which limits his upside. But he makes up for his lack of size with + athleticism. He'll need to be in an outside zone dominant scheme and we don't know what the Bears will be running next season but definitely someone worth monitoring

Tanor Bortolini (Wisconsin) Bortolini is in his first full year as a center but has experience at G (648 snaps), RT (229) and TE as well. He lacks length and isn't a great athlete but what stood out most to me was his balance and recovery. Could develop into a solid starter.

Charles Turner (LSU) He's undersized by NFL standards at 6'3 293 lbs but he's held up fine going against the top DL in the SEC. Turner's length (34 inch arms at C is crazy), athleticism, flexibility and mean streak standout. Might need a redshirt year but future is bright
