As long as we draft a Center I'm OK with Bodine getting a cheap deal. Even a highly drafted center may not start week 1 (though yes, Bodine did) so I'd let them have an honest competition in pre-season. Ultimately I think Bodine could be a great backup with us. We know he can snap the ball to Dalton without fumbling the handoff and he knows the playbook and adjustments. His blocking is terrible but maybe it would be better if he had to come in for a short stretch due to injury or what have you.
