[QUOTE="ivo610, post: 455091, member: 2128"] So you're saying center is the most important position on the O line? Yet historically the draft disagrees with you as its rare for a center to be drafted in the 1st round. GMs just dont feel they are worth it. Look at Konz, best center in the draft last season and considered a better C than what has come out of college in the recent years. 5 tackles were taken ahead of him, and 4 guards. If you believe a center is the most important position on the O line then you also believe they are vastly underdrafted and GMs have been making mistakes for decades. You say teams at the top of the first round already have a bad team, so why take a Tackle then if you wont see an adjusted win column? Isnt that a waste of a pick? Why not take a defensive player? (would say WR but the bust potential is too high) Has Joe Thomas made the Browns that much better to justify being picked ahead of Patrick Willis, Revis, or even AP who I believe would give them a few more wins but ultimately leave them as avg...
