Sure, he made some All-Conference teams his junior year at the center position, but it was on reputation and what he did after the snap. He struggled with the handoff and was moved back to guard for his senior year.
Either you get it or you don't at center. Because a guy plays guard really well doesn't mean he can play center. Because a guy's brother plays center doesn't mean he can play center.
At this point, the guy is a guard. And, in all honesty, he's not even the best guard in the draft. Rod Hudson is that guy. And unless you are a team like New England, who has most roster spots filled and has a boat load of picks in the first two rounds and has need of a guard, you never take a guard in the first. Especially if you are the Chiefs, having substantially more important holes to fill. Besides, we already took a guard in the first in 2008.
The Chiefs don't need projects, they need guys who can step in a play the position at a high level.

Snapping the ball is your main concern? Really? You honestly think that a guy with that kind of talent won't figure out how to consistantly snap the ball?
That's a risk I'm willing to take. If you end up being right, fine, we'll still have a great guard. His upside is well worth the risk IMO.
