Center.......what would you do?

[WarPanthers89]

Larsen has been solid but not spectacular in his limited playing time over the last few years. Do you roll the dice with him, search and fill through FA, or draft a replacement? If you go with Larsen who is depth? 

Ryan Kalil played solid this year, was very knowledgeable, and a leader in the locker room. This could be another huge issue on our line if we do not adjust.

This is one where I don't think the answer is on the roster.

Agreed. Larsen is a very solid depth piece at center and guard, however I feel that he will be a downgrade from Kalil even in his last season. I honestly wouldn’t be upset if we used a second round pick on the best center available. It is an extremely important position that we have to find an answer for.

We need to find a long-term solution at center. Larsen is fine but he is better at guard imo, and center is the most important position on the line.

Look ENE about 150 miles and you have your answer.

[Untouchable]

I'm leaning GVR over Larsen with what's on the roster and looking for a draft pick to beat them both out. 

[WarPanthers89]

It’s a tough call because drafting a center you will obviously have growing pains with calls and adjustments.

Greg Van Roten

Draft Garrett Bradbury, Erik Mccoy etc...

We need to draft Oline, center included.  See whats there in rd2 or rd3.  If the pick is raw and needs development, have Larson hold down C for a year while the rookie adjusts - could play G his first year.

He is a solid gaurd but definitely looked worse than Larsen when he filled in at center last year. Much worse actually. 

[MHS831]

This is a very good draft at C--however, rookie centers are fairly rare.  Personally, I think we need a smart, agile center.  I like Burkett from Stanford later in the draft. from 2016--

You draft a guy this year high. Let Larson stop gap a year while Newton's shoulder heals on the bench.
