Pretty low bar

Bodine is definitely a mediocre center. Dalton has typically performed the worst when the interior OL get pushed in.

The biggest reason that C is at least in discussion for being the weakest position group is because Bodine is mediocre along with no other dedicated center likely to be on the roster.
Who would play C if Bodine really struggles or gets injured? Is TJ Johnson worth a roster spot? Would Boling at C and someone else at LG (Fisher, Hopkins?) improve the interior OL?

I think it'd be a mistake to not at least address center within the first three rounds of next year's draft. Whether that's to replace Bodine or provide some much needed insurance, it needs to be done IMO.
