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.

Most likely, based off our past drafts and playing, Bodine will compete with a camp body and a low draft pick, with the idea that we're drafting the pick to replace Bodine. Sooo... there won't be much competition, and we'll most likely have Bodine starting for another season or two while they groom his replacement.

Look on the bright side we're probably only 3-4 years away from upgrading our worst position.
