This guy's not quite the top available prospect on my board, but he's close.
The Green Bay Packers select Travis Frederick, C, Wisconsin
If I pressed my luck and hoped he would be there in the 3rd round, I might be screwed. Kevin Minter is the BPA pick here, but I hate LSU LBs, and Green Bay really doesn't have a problem with LB depth since they re-signed Robert Francois.
Interior line depth is a need, and I'm not so sure Evan Dietrich-Smith is the future for a starting center. He'll be put aside to guard depth, where hopefully the Packers can then keep Aaron Rodgers upright even if 40 million players get injured, which seems to happen every goddamn year.
I think Frederick is a better center than Konz. I really do. He's more stout, smarter about the adjustments, and will be a big boost in the run game. The trainer is going to have to monitor him closely to make sure he doesn't get overweight, but other than that, he's a slam dunk surefire starting center that the Packers can now depend on like they did Scott Wells.
