Center has 2 strong candidates and like the OP said the Bucs really want Jensen back.  
Leaves Bozeman to take advantage of a bidding war.
Jones is older,  
Karras and Daniels are guards who can play center.  
The Lions have a prospect behind Ragnow that could be very good, I'll keep watching.


Tackle is extremely thin this year
Brown Jr was never going to be available
Armstead is too much guaranteed money, too old , too injured
Moses was on a one year tender on the bench for the Jets before Mekhi was hurt and he is older
T Brown from the Patriots is an option but seems to only play well for the Pats
D Brown is too old
Fisher too expensive, injured, older
Ifedi is young but not proven
Reiff could retire
Shell & Massie are very average & over 30

If the Texans will take less than two 1st round picks Tunsil is our prize. #31 and a later pick would be a steal, he only has $10M in guaranteed money with 2 years left on his contract and is a Top 5 LT. Move Jonah to RT and then the options become easier.


Guard has the bright spots and of course the Bengals dont value the position.  
Scherff will most likely never be an option and for good reason
I keep seeing we are in on Tomlinson which is my favorite - believe it when I see it
Corbett is my next guy
People like Daniels, I want to know why the Bears would let a solid 24 yr old walk with their available cap space
C Williams has promise
Norwell is too stiff for the wide zone but a great pass blocker and could come at a discount
Cappa has potential and the Bucs cant sign both he and Jensen
Not a fan of Spain so of course he will be back
Karras is an upgrade


We could very well see Spain and Reiff type acquisitions again this year if we strike out on one of the top 2 centers, dont trade for Tunsil or sign T Brown and continue to not value the guard position.  Lets hope we do better.

Yes - When you look at it logically, there aren't a ton of guys out there who are upgrades.
