This team needs a center just as bad as it needs the other 3 you listed, and if the C is the BPA, then you take him and run.

He's got all the physical skills of his brother, but he didn't play the center position very well this past season at Florida. His snaps were high, struggled with exchanges, etc. Once he got up and out, he was destroying people and you could see the talent was there. If a team thinks that they are getting a Pro Bowl center like his brother then they are planning on doing a lot of coaching to get him to that point as a center or they are just looking at what his brother did and expecting Mike to do the same thing because they are twins. (Herm and Carl would draft on the later philosophy I'm sure.)
As of right now, he should be looked at as a pure guard.
Same thing with Wisniewski of Penn State. Lots of talent, but he struggled a bit when they moved him over to center his junior season. They moved him back to guard for his senior season.
Between Pouncey, Wisniewski and Rod Hudson, there is some really nice guard prospects at the top of the draft for their respective position.
