Sorry for how that last posts looked. It was good in a spread sheet but put it on here and it looks pretty bad.
Matt Birk is really good, but he is getting old enough I could see Baltimore draft a center, but probably not early.
Olin Kreutz is getting old enough that Chicago might consider drafting one.
Denver is probably in the market for one to replace Casey Wiegmann.
Jeff Saturday will be 35 next season so Indianapolis might pick one but probably not early.
Brad Meester of Jacksonville was ranked lower than Niswanger and his birthday is 02/23/1977.
Rudy Niswanger Kansas City...you fill in your thoughts on Chiefs need.
Notre Dame's John Sullivan from Minnesota is young but he has struggled to replace Matt Birk.
Dan Koppen, New England might consider a center late in the draft.
Oakland's Samson Satele and Chris Morris could be improved upon.
When Jamaal Jackson went down Philadelphia struggled, so they might go for a good backup in later round.
Pittsburgh's Justin Hartwig was ranked 34th and he is 32 years old.
Tampa Bay gave Jeff Faine a big contract 2 or 3 years ago but he is ranked at 30.
Kevin Mawae for Tennessee is 39 years old and he is a UFA.
Casey Rabach from Washington is a UFA, not very good and 32 years old.
Washington does not have a 3rd round pick. They need to use their 1st round and 2nd round picks on QB and OL. KC drafts before them in the 4th. We only need to worry about tehm if we wait until the 5th round to draft a center.
Every NFL team always has more needs than draft picks but KC, Pittsburgh, Jacksonville, Minnesota, Tennessee, Denver, Oakland, Chicago, and Tampa Bay might be the most likely to use a draft pick early on a center.
I was hoping to come to the conclusion that centers were not that needed so we could wait until the 5th round, but I think the Chiefs should pick one earlier than that.
