Cheeseheadtv has an article up where they discuss the pack might be in play for a 1st round center. Am I the only one who would be annoyed by that, if it happened?
There´s no center worth of being drafted in the first round. I would be fine with the Packers drafting one in the later rounds to compete with Tretter.
Im right there with you in using the mid rounds for depth/possible starter, but apparently several teams are eying up
Colorado State C Weston Richburg early as the 1st round according to the cheeseheadtv report
I´m fine with some other team taking Richburg in the first round, especially if the one drafts in front of the Packers and increases our chances that Mosley and Clinton-Dix are there at #21, but I don´t want the Packers to be that team.
Well, if he passes on a center who ends up the next Matt Birk and picks a player who isn't as good at a different position, we'd be saying in a few years he shouldn't have passed.
He's got to pick the best player available or trade down for more value.
Matt Birk played Tackle in college. Ted has drafted a non-Tackle Center before, so I'd assume there's no objection from him to do so. Tretter has some real elite measurables and went to an ivy league school, compare the kid to Maurkice Pouncey on paper and let the jaw drop.I'd be surprised if TT drafted a guy who played center in college in any round. He drafts college left tackles and plays them elsewhere. I doubt they'd have let EDS go if they didn't think that Tretter was 100% up to it. Or maybe Lane Taylor is looking really good. Or maybe Barclay. Center is an easy place to plug in a guy. No need to draft one in the first, almost ever. Frank Winters was a 10th round pick. Scott Wells was a 7th.

Actually this year there are more Guards with <4.7 cones and <7.7 shuttles and <100 broads. At least guys I have projected to Guard on my board. It's been a long offseason with a lot of tape...Didn't know Birk was a tackle coming out. I agree that taking a tackle and converting him is the way to go if they are looking for another center. The tackles are the best athletes.
