Look at all the poor centers that were drafted. Anthony Collins never earned a true starting spot in Cincinnati and was a disaster when he went to TB to become a starter. Stacy Andrews, Scott Kooistra, Otis Hudson, Reggie Stephens, Tanner Hawkinson, Reid Fragel...all bad.
Clint Boling....4th round...solid starter
Kyle Cooke....undrafted free agent...solid starter (often mentioned among "Pro bowl snubs")
Stacy Andrews....4th round....got a $40 million free agent contract (in 2009 dollars)
Nate Livings....undrafted free agent...got a $19 million contract in free agency (in 2012 dollars)
Anthony Collins...4th round....got a $30 million contract in free agency (in 2014)
And the proof of how good PA is as a coach is looking at how many of these players performed under other O-line coaches after they earned big money contracts and left the Bengals.
