Taking a center like Cushenberry or Ruiz would be a bad idea this year because there are no Minicamps, Rookie Camps or OTA's. There would be no way for a rookie center to have any type of chemistry with the other offensive lineman.
Plus, how in the world is a Center going to be able to call all of the line protections and communicate with the other four starters if they haven't practiced extensively together in Reid's system?
It would make more sense for the Chiefs to draft a center/guard in the 4th or 5th than in the first round so that he could learn the scheme, playcalls and protections without being forced to do so on Day One with zero experience.
