There are lower tier guards out there that can still upgrade the position.

I still believe the better option in free agency would be signing Nick Hardwicke or Chris Myers and leaving Hudson at his natural position of guard.

Just because Hudson started at G in college doesn't mean thats his natural position. Scouts felt he fit better in the NFL as a C.

There's no way scouts can know with certainty that Hudson can play center.

It's a projection, and the transition isn't necessarily as easy as people like to think it is.

Brian Waters struggled with snapping the ball and getting underneath pads when he made the transition.

He also struggled with the exchange.
