I think they would have a better shot bargin diving at Guard like Dakota Dozier.

That's debatable.

Corey Linsley has had 1-2 very good seasons in the past. He's also rated the #22 C on PFF this year at 54.3.
Spencer Long has been a pretty good pass blocker in the past too. He's rated at 56.0 on PFF this year, but has been better in some years prior.
Neither of those are good this year, but they are still 10+ points higher than Russell Bodine's 43.9 rating.

Bodine is a bottom-tier starter and has been every year he's been in the league. Long and Linsley may not ever be a top 10 C going forward, but both are without a doubt better than Bodine. I would consider Long and Linsley to be on that second-tier priority when FA hits.

It really comes down to do you look to upgrade to at least around the middle or do you keep rolling with a bottom-tier starter and wait for another draft pick to come along that is a slam dunk?
