Also more snaps than you think. Perine and Evans combined for 371 offensive snaps and that's a year when Mixon actually stayed healthy. Mixon gets banged up for a game or two like normal and that count would rise quickly.
Breece isn't my first or second choice at 31 ideally, but in Ocho's scenario where the choices are really really narrowed down? Sure.

Consider me very skeptical that Linderbaum falls all the way to 31. The arm length talk on a center is vastly overblown. He's a unanimous All-American last season and athletically tested off the charts on everything else. I think you have a chance to grab a player who would fix the final hole in your OL (by moving Karras over) so just go up and get him. No reason to risk it and it's not like it's likely all of the draft picks are going to make the team this year anyway.
In these scenarios I cannot disagree. If we move on from Mixon after this year Breece Hall would be ideal in my eyes.
Also if Pollack and the FO think Linderbaum's arm length is no big deal and we want him bad enough to trade up for him I am
for it. I just don't know if they think Center or LG are a need with Karras and if Carman is healthy and they think he will make
big strides in his sophomore year. I have heard that Karras plays better at LG than at Center so it could be in the cards for all
we know. All I have heard though is Karras is the Center regardless of PFF grades.
