"Centers don't get drafted early....ever"

[PhoenixEagles1]

This is the closest thing to the truth I've seen on here.

People have the misconception that it's about the importance of positions, when nothing could be further from the truth. It's about how easy it is to find an average player at the position. Average players are a fact of life on every team. The salary cap sees to that. A truly elite player at any position, with the possible exception of long snapper, elevates the performance of a team greatly. Every team is looking for the best talent, but have to fill out their rosters with average and below average talent.

So as a result, they prioritize positions that are harder to find average talent, in the draft.

The center might be rated higher, if you didn't need only one.

Completely and totally disagree. Teams reach on QBs all the freakin time because they know QB is the corner stone of a franchise. The top 10 is dominated with DE, LT, CB and QB almost every year cause these are the 3 prized possessions in building a top team. C, MLB, S and TE aren’t as crucial to your success and exactly why they get drafted later.

So a team has never in the last 60 years had a poor Center and desperately needed one yet pass on elite Centers in the top 10 for 60 years... Come on. That’s what you are saying. You’re theory is in the last 60 years teams picking in the top 10 all had good Centers.

Nope, but most people have this misconception. It gets repeated enough.

Actually it doesn’t depend on preference. MLB is a lower ranked position. Star DE trumps star MLB every day of the week my man.

wrong

 

[handicappers]

I quit. Now we have people saying MLB is more valuable then DE. Incredible

baby

Yeah... former NFL players are confused too but you got it right.

"Centers aren't important"

derp

Why centers are crucial to success in the NFL playoffs.

 

[jerseyhawksfan79]

Dude... it has nothing to do with draft ranking. We can argue about subjective things like what order of importance a Center has but you simply don’t know football if you think teams covet star MLBers over star DE’s. That shit isn’t even debatable.

We have different ideas on how to build a team. How the fuck can you not follow this simple logic. Please, don't try to insult me by saying I don't know football. You sound like a complete fucking douche bag cause I have a different view then you.

 

[PDay8810]

I know you don’t like me but I also know you won’t chime in on what’s more important to building a team DE or MLB. I am a million percent sure you know I’m right.

it remains a team game to me.
One break down can ruin the play. Teams are as strong as their weakest link.

I find it stupid to slam the center position. The real good Dallas lines of yesteryear and now all had solid centers that made the line calls and everyone better.

DE is important but the MLB position is as well. A team with poor MLB play will have a very hard time stopping anyone

If they're not drafted top ten it's a worthless position.

Ok... you’re right. You have a different view then me and every GM in the history of the NFL.

And I'm trying to be as respectful as possible but to be a smart ass over an opinion that he disagrees with grinds my gears.

Never once said that. I said there’s a hierarchy and it’s always been QB, DE, LT, CB, WR1

You are one fucking jackass. It was a simple covo that you turned upside down cause of difference of opinion. Try not to act like you're all high and mighty cause you're not.

Totally agree

Pretty much that was your stance in the other thread.

That's your opinion and that's fine. Mine is different, not difficult to understand.
