However, what I fear is the re-signing of Bodine would give the coaches an excuse to wait on drafting a C until Day 3 or potentially not draft one at all.
That is my nightmare.

I'd say that your fears a justified.  If they sign Bodine to a contract extension, they will view the position as filled by an experienced, incumbent starter.  The best they'll do is draft a late round stooge or UDFA who has no realistic chance at seeing enough meaningful downs to have an opportunity to outshine good ole' Tommy Turnstile (Bodine).
