Centers aren't important. I read it on the sports magazine.

I also read articles that center was important but those ones were only OPINIONS whereas the ones I cited were FACTS!!

That's just a tad over 7 drafted every year. Of course some get moved to other positions but still a good amount taken in the draft.

I heard on the morning show a few days ago that the C is the most important position on the line. I think his credentials are pretty good.

Not a chance in hell Center is more important then LT. No way, no how.

Not much at all. Actually it tells you nothing. About 240 picks and a meager 7 Center. That’s like 2% of the draft yet they account for 5% of a starting team. You’d think if it was so important there would be a lot more drafted. Thanks for proving my point.

Why can’t you be honest. I said almost verbatim... Centers never go in the 1st round. There has been only 3 in the last 5 years like Fredricks.

Goal Posts were moved a lot that day.

That there are at least twice as many guards and tackles, drafted, and playing. There isnt 2 centers on the field.

Yeah so almost triple the amount of tackles yet you only need double the amount to start. More then twice as
many guards drafted but there are only twice as many guards. That proved nothing but make my point stronger.

2 tackles 1 Center. So why are they drafted at higher then a 3 to 1 rate and I’d love to see a break down of tackles to Centers taken in the 1st round. I bet it’s 10 to 1

There arent triple the amount of
Tackles starting yet they were drafted more then triple the amount of the time.
Did I say starting? No i didnt. I said there are just more of them. That would alos mean there is more need for them, and I would bet that more tackles get injured due to facing the most ferocious athletes on the field in DE.
go ahead though. whatever.
