It's interesting how much people's opinions can vary.
To me, Dismukes is one of the most overrated players in the draft. I think he's a pretty middling college center, and I have six guys ahead of him at the spot. If I was looking to start a rookie at center I'd draft Erving at 18 every day and twice on Thursday before I'd put Dismukes in there at any round. Here's how I have them rated: Code:
Rank Name School Pos Height Weight Round 1 Cameron Erving Florida State OT 6'5" 308 2 2 Andy Gallik Boston College C 6'2" 299 3 3 Max Garcia Florida C 6'5" 305 4 4 Dillon Day Miss State C 6'4" 305 4 5 Hroniss Grasu Oregon C 6'3" 297 5 6 B.J. Finney Kansas State C 6'4" 324 6 7 Reese Dismukes Auburn C 6'3" 295 7 8 Brandon VitabileNorthwestern C 6'2" 304 UDFA 9 David Andrews Georgia C 6'3" 294 UDFA 10 Shane McDermott Miami (Fla.) C 6'4" 302 UDFA |

I wanted Grasu with that pick, as I think he's better and a clear Dorsey pick, but I assume he'll be gone by that time.

i just dont understand your infatuation of cam erving. i like the guy, i like me some fatties too. I took him in the second in one of my mock drafts several months ago. i still like him as an immediate interior lineman who could eventually play tackle. but he just flat out isn't as good as the other tackle prospects in this class. i think he's a 2nd to 3rd round type of player as a tackle, and i dont think any center is worth a first round pick.

Yeah it's looking that way that he'll be gone. He is definitely the most athletic of all the centers outside Erving. He's got very quick feet, at least initially to set up his block.

I think Erving probably ends up playing center in the NFL. He could play tackle or guard somewhere eventually, but I think he's a center.
I believe in positional value as much as anybody, but at the end of the day, you've got to be pragmatic. What will make the Chiefs better: Cam Erving, or Kevin Johnson. Not "a center" versus "a corner" on "a hypothetical NFL team." We have known roster realities and available talent to consider. |

if it means getting a #1 CB or dupree...a 'starter' is fine

People talk about reaching for a player of need, of drafting the best available player, etc... but that's thinking about the draft pick-by-pick. At the end of the (three) days it's about "how much have you improved your team?" You have to look at the collection of players you got and ask yourself "How much did my team improve? What weaknesses do I have that my opponents will try to exploit?" If you just take BPA every pick and don't think about needs you'll end up drafting 5 damned running backs. |

center just isn't that important of a position in the end of the day... an elite center is going to do very little in improving a team. what combo of players would make the chiefs better?
Richard Sherman, and an average Center like Stefan Wisenski or Maurkice pouncey, and an average corner like Brandon Carr? how about Joe Thomas, and an average guard like geoff schwartz or Marshal Yanda and an average tackle like eric fisher(ok maybe fisher isn't average) Dez Bryant and an old Chris Myers or Rodney Hudson, and Eddie Royal Center is one of the least impactful positions in football, and having an elote center isn't going to win you jack. the draft nevers ends up how its supposed to but the first round pick gives you the best chance possible of finding an elite player, and i don't want our best chance going on a center. i'd much rather try to find an elite tackle, cb, wr, te, really anything but center. |

Don't love it, but I appreciate the effort and I'm just glad to see some new football threads.
