Shakir more X then slot or the rookie we draft?

Money crunch? You mean winning? If you have no cap room it means you better be a great team. We keep getting to the final 4 in the AFC every year so we must be doing something right. Protect Josh and nothing else matters. *Pounds the table for a Center in the draft*

It absolutely is a thing I agree. Which is why in the Allen era you better move heaven and earth to win the whole thing.

Another tax free pay day. These guys aren’t serious. —Me when I see guys signing in Florida Tennessee or Vegas.

I’ll put it like this. Let’s look at it another so I’m not confusing anyone. If I had to choose between Justin Jefferson and the best Center in football I’m obviously taking Jefferson. Who has won how many playoff games? And maybe 10 other WRs over the best Center. Maybe 10. But if I had to choose between say DJ Moore (say he’s the 11th best WR) and the best Center I’m taking the Center. How many WRs vs Centers do teams carry? And only 10 teams have those WRs. The elite Center in the NFL is more rare than elite WR - I get the pay doesn’t reflect that and never will. If that makes any sense. You’re going to have the elite Center for almost a decade. WR is not as hard to get. You don’t need top 10 guys. It’d be great sure but when it comes to the draft - it’s about value. I’ll argue all day for the elite Center late in the first. In my scenario I’m simply saying if he’s there in Round 2 go get him. That’s a much likelier hit than the 9th defensive tackle or 7th WR at 28. Center is the most under appreciated position in Sports.

What? That title didn’t prove a point?? If you are a Democrat and that generated outrage due to your TDS, here is your party doing exactly what you wanted Trump impeached for 75 times - this is the equivalent

Full panic.

Dems: “Listen, it’s just some stupid shoe. No one cares.”

Didn’t this same low info media portray every single Trump voter as a Jan 6 insurrectionist??? Pretty sure they used January 6 to “smear” all Republican voters.

It’s not even a hot take - it’s a legit point/argument. We took a Guard in RD 2 last year - you don’t think after losing Morse AND his backup that the Center position especially if a stud is there isn’t going to be considered? It doesn’t necessarily have to be Frazier he’s just my favorite. What the interior of that Chiefs Oline allows Mahomes to do…..my God…..I’d kill for Allen to have that. So to me, it’s alleged option 1 - David Edwards to LG and McGovern to Center. 2 new positions. Or, option 2: Leave McGovern where he is. Hopefully draft our Creed Humphrey. I'd love to hear a better plan than this. RD 1 - Mitchell, WR RD 2 - Frazier, Center

All day, yes. Chiefs: Mahomes Creed Humphrey Kelce was mid all season WRs - all bums! Rice came on late but Bills Allen The 2023 Oline Diggs and mid WRs Ravens Linderbaum WRs led by a rookie Eagles - they were so concerned about Kelce they’ve been grooming a guy since 2022 - drafted to take over for him. What other position besides QB do you prepare like that for. Nothing works if the Oline doesn’t. It’s the most important position after QB - show me a team with a great to elite center I guarantee you that team wins games. More than they lose. I'll show you teams with elite WRs that absolutely stink.

They traded the backup center and released the starter - and immediately said the “plan” was McGovern. They don’t want to telegraph needs. If they didn’t do that the whole league knows that Center becomes a top priority. Saying that at least makes them wonder what we’ll do. A center is very much in play for Miami maybe in RD 1 (trade back a bit for more picks?) and Washington very early in RD 2.

CBS Sports has him at 40 OA

He just sent me the clip I’ve been looking for:

From a WVU super fan buddy of mine: “Started every game since he was a true freshman… …He broke his leg on his last play against Baylor - they were inside 2 minutes and he refused to to go down because it would have caused a 30 second runoff so he hobbled to the sideline after pushing our RB for a first down and then they won on a last second TD… …he is a legend in WVU football. Will play 10 plus years in the league.”

Trade back 5 spots get another one. Trade up into late round 3. No doubt in my mind going to be some movement for us.
