We Need Our Center

[Lovethefish]

The Center position must be filled this offseason with the release of Kilgore and general subplay at the position since Pouncey regressed with injury.

Personally, I would love to align a drafted Center with our QB from day 1.
Couple reasons asides from the obvious goal of creating a C- QB relationship.
I’m hoping to sign a veteran guard- be it Thuney or Peat- I see this OL as Veteran- Rookie- Veteran - Rookie. Also, I’m not thrilled with the FA Center class.

FA Options:
Our resident guru CK has mentioned Ben Garland. Admittedly the SF Offense didn’t miss a beat- matter of fact - their run game seemed to improve after the Richburg injury.
Other options include Glasgow- he does provide some versatility C/G.

Matt Sakura flashed some but is coming off major knee surgery and is a RFA. Not sure how we

Leftfield option is moving Dieter to C, that’s where he was most productive in college, or using Evan Boehm, who played better than Kilgore when covering for him last year.

Obvious FA target is Ted Karras. Glasgow can cover but rather target him as a G.

The draft options all seem the be clustered in the 2nd round, should be able to get one of them at 56 or maybe risk one of them dropping to 70.

Cutting Kilgore signals to me that they have a FA center lined up, presumably Karras.

I expect Miami to look for OT early in the Draft and take care of interior OL in FA.

They may still take a OG on Day 3 but I think we will see two Interior OL starters added in FA.

With all our picks this year, hopefully we can find some 6th round picks like Karras that develop into fine starters in 4 years.

I'd love to add Ruiz, but there will be players I want more at 26 and probably 39, and I don't think he makes it to 39. After Ruiz, I'd see if Cushenberry or Hennessy fall.to the 3rd or see if Biadasz is there Day 3.

Cushenberry Seems like the best value. Still bummed that creed Humphrey didn’t come out this year.
