Center/Interior Line at 19

[RumHam]

Now, its a must. We can get the best in the draft. Edge and Linebacker are shored up, defense will already improve tremendously. The line is in trouble. 

[csx]

Sure but I would prioritize OT.

[hepcat]

Tackle is going to be a priority unless they can sign someone like Taylor Decker

[Jon Snow]

I think there is a plan for both tackle and center in the draft. But it's not the folks you guys are thinking about.

Can any of the top guard prospects also play center? Because the pure centers in this class aren't exactly screaming day one starter to me.

They were really interested in talking to one of the oline players from duke during the combine. I thought I heard someone on nfl network say he could play guard and center. That caught my attention.

there’s an interesting line of thinking that we could take Fano at 19 and work him at LT until Ekwonu returns. If he pans out, wonderful, if not, kick him into center unless Samac has been a revelation there.

 

i think it’s more fantasy than reality though. It’s a lot to ask of a rookie, especially one whose arms are shorter than Will Campbell’s are. 

it also means you’re using a 1st round pick on a probable Center. 
 

I don’t see them going this route but it’s a nice fairy tale that would really work for us.

Ummmmm, no. Plenty of centers will be around in rounds 3 and 4. Unless one of the stud LB or edges drop (or Downs), it is hopefully one of the following:

OT (Mauigoa, Freeling, Fano)

DB/S (McCoy, Thieneman) 

WR (Lemon)

LB (Allen)

There's really only 2 among the group that I would be interested in. That's Freeling and Thieneman. My dream would be Thieneman because I think he is going to be a stud and would make a defense next level good.
