As the Chicago Bears look to rebuild their offensive line, they added center Doug Kramer with the 207th overall pick in Round 6.
What fans will like about Kramer is how he’s a hometown player. He was born in Hinsdale, IL, and played college football at Illinois.
Though Kramer was projected to be anywhere from a late-round Day 3 pick to an undrafted free agent, he will help bring depth to the interior offensive line. Whether he is just an extra player for training camp or earns a spot on the roster is yet to be seen.
Kramer comes in at 6-foot-2, 305-pounds. He has good size for the position and scouts like his attitude, as he plays through the whistle.
It’ll be interesting to see what happens with Kramer. He has the chance to shock a lot of scouts and earn a spot on the 53-man roster. The ability to be an NFL-caliber lineman has been shown, it’s just been inconsistent. If he can become more consistent, there’s a chance we see him suit up on Sundays.
