I wouldnt be against it, but I am in favor of either getting someone like him or drafting a top center in the draft.

Is Pouncey an option at Center?

I am pretty sure he was rated like the 27th Center in the league last year. Big time name, but low level production.

I could be wrong, but it seems like the longer RB remains unsigned the least likely it is he's going to get much of an offer in free agency which could mean him returning here with a real lowball contract and us drafting his eventual replacement . Hell, I really shouldn't be trying to read Mikey's tea leaves. They're probably dandilion leaves anyway .

I would take Pouncey over Bodine without hesitation. Hip problems or not, he'd be an upgrade over ol' turnstile. Hell, just let Dalton walk up to the line holding the football in his hand like backyard football and he'd have just as much protection in the middle as he does with Bodine playing. Plus, Pouncey has played more games than Burfict since 2014 and people don't want Burfict gone.

Nah, he isn't much better than Bodine. He is not his brother and he is hurt all the time.
Want us to draft one of the top Centers instead.

I want to draft a center as well, but Pouncey is a huge upgrade over Bodine. While I know it's different positions and not an apples to apples comparison, Pouncey has played in 83% of the games in his career as opposed to Burfict's career 70% and Eifert's career 49%.

I don't put much stock in PFF as you know but as Au165 alluded to, Pouncey was rated worse than Bodine last season. Doesn't sound like a huge upgrade to me. I already think Westerman can be a huge upgrade at Center over Bodine and he is on the team. He was compared to Alex Mack coming out. Draft Ragnow, Price or Daniels and we will be much better off IMO.
