re: Center and Kicker

I really wanted to address Center in this draft, and I think the team did as well, but I can see why it wasn't- the value just didn't match where we were picking. I think Martin was a real possibility for us at 58, but they had SJB higher on the board (judging by how quickly the pick was turned in).

Swanson and Stork both went before our pick in the 4th, so after that I don't think they were reaching on a Center prospect that they didn't like just to grab one.

I thought Bodine might be a real possibility for us, but Cincy grabbed him in the 4th before our pick. I believe they even traded up on the 4th to grab him.

I was pretty disappointed we couldn't land Larsen or Ikard as a UDFA, but I don't think either are a make or break prospect there. My biggest concern with Lelito is him not having taken a regular season snap at Center in college or NFL up until this point. I know he played 2 games at Guard last year, but it's a different game making the protection calls, and snapping the ball. Armstrong looks to have some decent potential, so there's something there. And I'm guessing Goodwin, who should be a decent 1 year stop gap, was always a Plan B, depending how the draft fell.
