Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Poles isn’t being shy about creating competition for the interior of the offensive line. The team added their third interior lineman of the day when they selected center Doug Kramer from Illinois with the 207th overall pick.
Kramer joins Braxton Jones and Zachary Thomas as the other picks from Day 3 of the 2022 NFL draft.
Kramer is a local product, growing up in Hinsdale, IL, a western suburb of Chicago. He’s an experienced center who can also play guard as well. Perhaps he’s the team’s future at center if he can develop.
Needless to say with Kramer going to school just a few hours south of Chicago, there are plenty of people happy to see him wind up with the Bears.
