draft some guards and a center like everyone else.......if they are listed at either position on any one of Scout, 247, ESPN, or Rivals then that's all good in my book

I'm on the fence on this one. I don't like drafting guys way out of position but to also try and guess where an OL is going to actually end up playing is an exercise in futility.

All 4 of my guys have upside at OT, but Caleb Chandler is officially listed as an OG on Scout, and K'Rojhn Calbert is listed as an OT/DT due to insufficient playing time more than anything else. Ryan Nelson is an undersized OT that has a good chance to get moved inside. So ultimately, only Filiaga is really "locked in" at OT of my 4 so far.

I'll likely be looking for an OG/OC guy for center, but who the hell knows who actually ends up being a Center in college,

Couldn't have said it better myself. Go and look at any starting OL and almost every time of the time you'll see guys not playing the position they were listed as in recruiting rankings.

For Michigan this year 4/5 starters on the OL were listed as tackles. I bet for LSU it's similar. No coach looks at OL by position they try and get the 5 best guys provided 1 of them knows how to snap.

The truth is if you actually hit on a player good chance he'll play multiple positions
