I think the center position with his orchestration would make is top 10 in running and passing. But yeah ur right we will probably get more than a third.
See I want to trade down to 15-18 get elflien since most mocks have him middle of the first. Then use a pick or 2 that we got to trade down to  trade up to middle 20s get his teammate lb raquan McMillan a thumper in run game who is fast and excels in pass protection. Looks like malaluga 2.0 when he first came out. Although I mainly watch big ten and acc

I have seen Elflein rated mostly in the 40-60 range, and he is generally the #2 rated C behind Pocic from LSU, but not by much.  McShay is the only one I have heard of that has him anywhere near that high.  Not being a top tier athlete, I think his draft stock will take a bit of a hit at the combine, as well.

That said, I like him as a prospect and he would be a major upgrade over Bodine at C or could start at RG for a year if Zeitler leaves and Westerman isn't ready to start.  As bad as C has been for so long, I'd be cool with giving up a 4th to move up from the 2nd into the 30-32 range to get him and have the 5th year option that comes with a 1st round pick.  But, he just isn't worth a mid 1st round pick.  If some team wants him that high, they can have him and we can just wait on Pocic in the 2nd, because its unlikely 2 C's go in the first 40 picks.

My other issue is, I really wouldn't consider trading down unless Garrett, Allen, Williams, Fournette, and Cunningham are all off the board, because an elite talent like them would do a lot for this team.  Even then, it would take at least an early 2nd or a mid 2nd and mid 3rd for me to want to move down that far.
