I know everyone says draft a center to replace Bodine, but in 2017 there was not close to a can't miss center in the draft like Pouncey. So, we draft a possibly Thompson/Still type center in round 2 (no Mixon) or round 3 (No Willis) with the hope the rookie beats out Bodine. My point is the draft was not the place the past 2 years to find a sure fire can't miss center prospect. So maybe they are not 100% thrilled with Bodine, but maybe feel the options were not available.
If I were king for a day I would have thrown the kitchen sink at Mack in FA a year ago. But they did not and as others have stated, it is a shame we did not go after the 1 or 2 guys in FA that could have helped be a better team and Super Bowl contender.
Mack would be sweet here. Mangold would be good for a year or 2 just to mentor Bodine if nothing else.
