I'm not a fan of waiting until the 2nd round to address the Center position.  It's far too important of a position.  Even if we pass on a center in round 1, I would much rather see a guy like Wynn or Hernandez.

Thanks for the input Hammerstripes.   I go back and forth on who to draft in 1.    If we want Hernandez, Price, Daniels or Wynn we'll have to get them in the first.   I don't believe any of them will be available at 46 - though never say never, right?  But it would be a heck of a gamble.

And there is a risk that Ragnow will even be there in the 2nd, though I'd say that the odds are pretty good.

Still I'd be very happy with Price in the first and someone like Crosby in the 2nd.   He's a big guy that will be better than what we have at the R tackle spot right now.    And there's the long shot Brown will be available at 46.

You are correct that center is a priority.    I hope the Bengals treat it the same way.  Even though Bodine (who may be gone anyway) improved with the line scheme at the end of the season, he seemed really poor at identifying stunts and reacting appropriately.   It was so bad that even Zietler had trouble coordinating with him.   And when he did it was because he figured out what kind of moves Bodine was going to make - not the other way around (at least it appeared that way).

I'd love to have Wynn or Hernandez at guard, but I don't see them being there and I agree with you that Center is the priority.   But we are also going to have to have a right tackle.  Fisher has not panned out yet.  I think Ragnow is underrated and McGlinchey would make a really nice bookend.

Finally, I'd be thrilled to have Rashaad Evans at 21.   I think he's underrated and would be better than Brown - or could play the SAM in 1st down packages and combine with Burfict in the nickel package.

Thanks again for your input
