Good guards/Centers can be found in the mid rounds and later. We got Koppen with a 7th and we got Cannon with a 5th and those guys played real solid for us.

I prefer Antonio Richardson, Tenn or Morgan Moses, Virginia and move Cannon inside to guard and Connolly back to center.
Well the only 2nd round players that BB has drafted are Vollmer and Light so whomever it is, I hope they'll be as good and long-serving as those two. I'd say that Swanson has the athletic upside to be the most likely, but I'm not convinced I want a second round OL.
I am in favor of taking multiple lineman in this year's draft, and I really like the depth at the interior line spots. I'd be a big fan of trading this pick down and taking Richburg/Bitonio/etc later on, if available. Also Marcus Martin is an intriguing prospect, and Bryan Stork was a very good center for Florida State. If the Patriots do not bring in Mack, they had better go get a guy that can play center. Wendell has to go.
Interior of the o-line, tight end and defensive line are all absolute must drafts this year. The Pats must, must, must address those positions.
Your point about the depth at interior OL (Bryan Stork, Marcus Martin, Billy Turner, etc.) is well taken. And with 3 months until the draft, a lot can change. But it's looking quite possible that guys like Richburg and Bitonio won't last much beyond our 62 pick, which is why I included them.
