Center

Chiefnj2 · 02-22-2009, 10:02 AM

From the drills yesterday it looked like Wood and Unger were the most athletic of the centers. Are either worth KC's 2nd round pick? Will they make it to the 3rd round? Any late round sleepers at center?

I wonder how many teams need centers. It'd be great if one fell, since there are three real quality centers counting Mack. But add one team to the list in Indy, they're letting Saturday walk and would be happy if one of those guys fell to them in the 2nd.

The Colts drafted 3 centers last year so I don't know if they need to take another one.

They drafted Mike Pollack last year and also have Steve Justice.

Both can play center.

Did not realize. So any idea how many are looking?

I thought that AQ Shiply looked pretty good yesterday, and Antoine Caldwell has been on teh radar for a while.

I also thought Shipley looked good. I like squat, scrapy centers. Rumor has it A.Q. has a nasty temper.

The only thing that worries me is his T-Rex arms. I read that he might be there in the 4th or 5th round. I wouldn't mind him at all around the 5th round.

Unger is definitely worth a 2nd round pick. I actually have him rated higher than Mack. I really liked how smooth Wood's feet looked. I liked Shipely also. He's built like a fire hydrant. His shorter arms will hurt him.

I'd take Wood in the 3rd round.....hopefully he's still there.

I thought Wood really helped himself yeaterday, and he could very well end up in the second round.

I think Unger's going to be an amazing pro as well. I like him better than Mack because he's so athletic and he could easily handle right guard and right tackle.

I've had him rated higher than Mack since the Senior Bowl and would be stoked if the Chiefs chose him in the 2nd round.

How did Caldwell look? I thought he did well in the Senior Bowl and I think I'd be happy with him as a true center.

I don't remember him doing anything that stood out.

He did about as well as I expected.

But the reason I mentioned Shiply specifically is because he surprised me.
