Do y'all know how long I've been mocking a 5th round center?  YEARS. if you do something often enough it's bound to happen.

Can you manifest Katherine Langford turning up at my door?

Thanks in advance.

Here's what I'm not getting, he was a top...if not the top center in this class and four guys went ahead of him.  Why?  Even Lew who is coming off knee surgery went ahead of Hecht. Anyways, a great get by Morgan and compnany!

#2 Center-Site lumped all IOL.

 

The lowest I saw him was C#3.

I hope he ends up being our best ever at the position. Ryan Kalil left big shoes behind that we haven't quite been able to fill since.

We were at near-catastrophic on the o-line after Ickey’s injury. The LT bargain in FA and this draft has shored it up quickly. Amazing. 

Now imagine Icky comes back healthy and suddenly we have a ton of options

This was my #1 Center so im jacked right now!!

Definitely my draft crush this year, although I had him in the 4th or maybe even 3rd. This kid got a mean streak!

Only real concern I have is weight/strength related. He seems a little light and the guys across from him are huge and strong. Hoping that him being in between Hunt and Lewis will help him out. 

He's got a year behind fortner to work with our nutritionist/strength team. He doesn't have to start immediately. Jeez, I love what the FO did to say us up for the draft!
