sparky151 Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 There's about 80 guys who could be a first round pick. Only 32 of them actually will be and there won't be 3 centers in round 1. We'll have at least 1 good one available at 46. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|schotzee| Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 How many teams have an immediate need at center that they would be apt to take one in the first round? Has anyone actually looked into this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BengalFanInTO Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 I'd love this guy in the second. Vander Esch/Ragnow or McGlinchey/Ragnow in the first two rounds would be awesome. I'd rather not see him taken in the first but, I'd understand if they did. Hopefully that would involve a trade back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yeah, if there is a significantly better player at another spot, that's cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills could as well and if not at #22 they'd probably target one with their early 2nd round pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bengaled Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 Guess I'll put this here, since it concerns grading interior offensive linemen. It's a decent breakdown and show's why a certain player might be a better scheme fit for a team versus another and be graded higher depending on the blocking scheme used.

I could take the best of the bunch, but I think I'll wait and see what's left over instead!" It's weird to me too.... I get the BPA argument, but at the same time, everyone is all "Oh, outside of the first 5 picks there's just no standouts." How many game changing talents are going to be there at #21? And while guys may seem similar on tape, do you really want the Center that everyone thought had the worst attitude? The most health concerns? The BPA argument is one of "Fill your needs in FA, draft best player". FA is over. The time for filling the position with a starter has passed. IMHO, why risk waiting for a guy you need? A guy like Ragnow is also going to be one hell of a Guard... Was Steinbach a worse choice than John Ross? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How in the fuck did anyone look at that dude and see top 10 draft pick? Like, even before his shitshow of a rookie season. I would love to know where other teams had him on their board. Or whose decision it was here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless I am mistaken, they have already moved Pat to guard, or at the very least plan on doing so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it was our last wr coaches suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
