And for those thinking we should have brought Stork in to replace Bodine, he was traded for a Conditional 7th round draft pick. Can't get much lower than that. There's a reason 30 other teams did not seem interested.
I'm sorry, but he was like I said - average. He felt excellent to us because he replaced one of the worst Centers in NFL history (Ghiacuc). But even when healthy Cook still had an annoying issue with blocking the wrong guy and things like that.
We need to fix Center and unfortunately in the drafting g climate the NFL is now in that probably means investing a high round pick, because the teams are now much more aggressive in snapping up interior linemen in the early rounds. Having a poor Center hurts both the run and pass games.
