Center is the position of greatest need, however I suspect that you can get better value for a second round center and first round guard than vice versa.

Here are some mid and late round centers who can likely come in and do a good job.

Gabe Ikard, OU
Bryan Stork, FSU
Weston Richburg, Colorado State
James Stone, Tenn
Tyler Larsen, Utah State
Andrew Miller, Virginia Tech
Dakota Dozier, Furman

Unless you are the Cowboys, Centers rarely get drafted in the first or even second round.

I'm curious as to why everyone wants to draft an OLB? We have Galette, Haralson, and Butlers coming back. I mean unless someone falls who you just can't pass up, I think that could just be a later round pickup. Don't we still have Rufus on the PS too? Not to mention we just released Wilson...so I just don't get the feeling we're hurting there.

Honestly, I don't see the need to to make absolutely any D-line picks in the first top half of the draft.

Furthermore, the first three rounds all really need to be O-line and a wideout and/or offensive weapon.

can't get very specific on positional need until after free agency. Huge questions to be resolved. Is Charles Brown good enough? Can you find a contract that works for both him and the team? I tend to think Streif will be back affordably. Or is Armstead THE guy and ready to move up? Hell, Bryce Harris hasn't looked bad. That's just at OT.

At this point I like the idea of a grade A center who could come in and start on day one and be there through a rookie contract or beyond.
