The 2026 NFL Draft is just a week away, and that means projections galore for all the talent hoping to hear their names called on draft night.
One of those talented prospects is the 2025 Rimington Award winner, Iowa center Logan Jones. Jones capped off his senior year by earning his second First-Team All-Big Ten selection and was also named an All-American.
Jones anchored an offensive line that won the 2025 Joe Moore Award, given to the nation's best offensive line unit, and he does not have a shortage of suitors heading into the Draft.
Jones' potential destination makes too much sense for both parties involved
Pure centers don't usually get taken in the first round, but Jones has the potential to go shortly after and be one of the first centers taken.
One potential landing spot for Jones is starting to come into focus, and an intriguing team near the end of the second round is projected to take the former Iowa anchor.
In ESPN's latest mock draft, Mel Kiper predicts the Chicago Bears will select Jones with the No. 60 overall pick in the second round, which makes too much sense.
After Drew Dalman surprisingly retired, the Bears needed a center before signing Garrett Bradbury. However, Bradbury is only on a one-year deal and will be a free agent after this season.
Jones gives the Bears an ironman in the middle of the line with 51 career starts for the Hawkeyes under his belt.
Jones could easily go higher in the second round, but heading to the Windy City to join the Chicago Bears organization makes a lot of sense for him and the organization.
