We need to go ahead and grab Garrett Bradbury, C, NC State with our first pick. He's being touted as everything from an automatic starter at C to a 10-year All Pro at the position. We need a replacement for Kalil the Greater right now and Bradbury would be just the guy to do it. Read Bucky Brook's take on the guy who is moving up a lot of draft boards.

Bradbury could sneak into the top-10. Even at 16, I only take him if DE and SAF are off the board. Guy is going to be an instant plug n' play OL for a decade, but there are guys in the 2nd and maybe even early 3rd that have franchise potential. I'd rather get one of the DL or Thompson. Hard for me to take a C in R1.

It always depends on who else is available but given the DL/edge rusher talent in this class and our massive need there and the highest positional value, the board would have to fall very unkindly for us for me to be happy with Bradbury at 16 and that would only be after vigorous efforts to find a partner to trade down. Centers almost never go as high as #16.

We have greater needs and frankly he doesnt fit our scheme as well as Jenkins does at 47. Most think Jenkins is better as a mauler and Bradbury as a zone blocker. Honestly, I'd rather sign Denver's Center so we can concentrate on DE, OT, OG and DT in the first 4 picks.

Has a center ever gone top 10?

Yeah I'm not drafting a C in the 1st round.. That's a luxury pick when you have no other needs.. Which isn't us.. Ppl need to look at positional value when making opinions..

I can't necessarily agree that you can't draft a C in the first round. There have been some very good centers drafted in the first. That said, 16 is really high for a center. If we are that sold as a team on snagging him, trade down.

I feel like one of the guys Dallas drafted or someone was a C/G coming in and went top-10....maybe I'm confusing it. San Diego.... Baltimore? I forget. 

I'm drinking at the airport, so maybe I made that up. haha.

The only interior OL in the last two decades or so that I can recall going top ten both went in the same draft a few years back. Johnathan Cooper and Chance Warmack. Both OGs, both busts.

It's okay, they laughed at me when I said CMC was going to be our first round draft pick two years ago.

 

Ppl knew we were looking at RB .. Whether it was Lenard or Cmac.. So I don't know why you're acting like Nostradamus.. Still a top 5 RB has more effect and positional value than a Center..

Eh....not sure I would agree. RB's are getting to be a dime a dozen in the NFL anymore.

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
