Did you see some of the blocking metrics that have come out in the last day or so? Apparently Neal and Mankins were two of the top 10 guards in the league in pass blocking and Seabass was a top 5 OT. Koppen was awful at C and listed in the bottom 10. Could we draft Pouncey from Florida 2nd rd? Center looks weak this yr in the draft besides him.
I highly doubt we take OT in the draft unless its Washington or Veldheer 3rd-4th rd. We have a nice 2 deep at OT with Seabass/Light/Kaczur/Levoir.
Do you think we bring back Neal? If not we need to draft a C/G.
IMO the best value is Kevin Matthews from Texas A&M, he has all the things you can't teach and what he lacks is very teachable, and he'd be very affordable.
Sideline Scouting - Centers
Mitch Petrus is my favorite for Guard, again, he has the stuff that can't be taught, with some good treatment/training and technique work he could start by opening day and be a Pro-Bowler by his 2nd year.

I'm curious why you don't think Tackle is an area of need, Vollmer has a very bright future and can get the job done but Light sucks, I want to draft Veldheer and get his schooled up on Right Tackle so we can then move Vollmer to Left Tackle.
After a year or so to develop a line of Vollmer-Mankins-Matthews-Petrus-Veldheer would be absolutely nasty.
