There are very few positions on the Chiefs roster that can't be upgraded, so it comes down to positional value and for me, Center is near the bottom of that list.

I'd love to replace Sorensen; I don't think you need to do that all that early. A guy like Divine Deablo would be a good option and as late as round 4. Jacoby Stevens too.
Jackson was 13 years ago. Hill was indeed an immediate impact; but he's also a freak physically, and that's not something that will be available at #31.
As you neglected LB I'll assume we're in agreement that 1)no rookie is going to unseat Hitchens, as he's the signal caller, and 2) it's way too early to give up on Gay. And as you say, we're in nickel most of the time, so I'd say LB is nowhere near the top of the must have day 1 list.
And as for center being low down your list, I'd say that an above average player there makes Mahomes more effective, and Clyde more effective, and so makes a pretty big positive difference.
We can do it in the draft, or we can do it in FA, but we ought to do it.
