OG/C Russell Bodine, North Carolina -- I remember the Rudy Niswanger experiment too well, as should any Chiefs fan familiar with the 2008/2009 seasons. One of Niswanger's many problems was that he simply might have been too tall for the center position at 6'4". Bodine suffers from the same affliction. He weighed in at 6'3", 310, which is tall and heavy for a center. Even if it weren't, Bodine's tape shows him playing way too tall, way too frequently. He gets driven regularly, and gets minimal push in the run game. Fortunately, he has some flexibility at guard, where the Tarheels frequently played him. He's not much better there, however, but he does possess decent-enough athleticism so that he can play in space on pulls and screens. But ultimately, I don't know if that'll do much more than elevate him from a late round pick.
