I also know that the Bengals would never do anything like this.  Would rather save the pick and go after a center in the 4th TD.

Why would the Broncos put a 2nd round tender on the #2 center in the league rather than a 1st round tender?
I feel like putting a 2nd round would almost guarantee he'd be snatched up by someone.

EDIT - Also, where did you get the #2 ranking? PFF has him as #8 with a score of 75.2.
