A mix of all of it.

Back when he came into the coaching ranks, the C position was one that could easily be filled by late rounders and UDFAs. When the truth of the matter is that only a few NFL day 1, starter material Centers come out of college each year. Other teams have gotten wise to that fact, and they are taking the best Centers in the early rounds. Compound that with the idea that PA may be a tad overconfident in his ability to "coach up" a guy, and make him starting material.
More so what Stormborn said.
Good centers are hard to find.
There are about 5 centers drafted a year. 2014 was an extreme outlying year with 10.
The only positions with fewer drafted players per year? Kicker, Punter, Long Snapper and Full Back.
We have never really been in a position to draft one.
The last line of what you wrote Sunset can literally only be applied to the center position. Otherwise he has one of the best track records of any coach in the league.
