Was slated as a 4th round pick. We took him in the 3rd.
Projected as average nfl starter. Sounds like a back up to me.

I don't think anyone is writing him off.
I just don't think anyone thinks he could or should start like you do.
Starting stromberg at center with a rookie qb makes no sense. Keim seems to agree.
We need a top notch center to call out protection schemes and help the rookie qb out. It's a cerebral position and experience helps. Stromberg would essentially be a rookie trying to guide and help a rookie.
If stromberg was a generational talent, maybe. But coming off an injury, he might be a back up if he outplays everyone else.
I think you are going to be disappointed with peters approach to the team.

its foolish not to take a player who can replace stromberg just because he is a 3rd rounder . no one is writing anyone off however the idea of building a contender is not to make a huge question mark the center piece of your plan . and if a center is the BPA at a particular round i am taking the BPA
even if we sign a vet center in FA? That was my whole point. If we sign a vet center in FA why would you draft another one in the 2nd round? We already have Stromberg. There are plenty of other holes that could be addressed on this team in the 2nd round.
So you sign a vet center early in FA, and you have Stromberg as your backup…what do you do next year about center? Maybe next year, the center class is extremely weak. Why would you pass on a guy that can be PB caliber for the next decade, for a guy who is a one year rental and HOPE Stromberg doesn’t suck? One more question regarding this…why can’t Stromberg simply play G?
There are a lot of guys I am interested in round 2…
T- Jordan Morgan
C- JPJ
WR- Worthy, Thomas, Legette…and more
DE- Robinson
LB- Wilson
We only have 2 picks in the 2nd…every one of these guys fill a hole. You take the best player because some of these guys will bust.
i agree with your list. I would draft those guys instead of center in the 2nd round. Sure, if Stromberg can play OG that changes things. Say we sign Morse at center from the Bills, I think they are looking at least a 2-year window for him. If they take a center high 2nd round that would mean they already written off Stromberg as a center if Morse is signed. Stromberg would have to play OG to stick around.
he excelled at sucking badly every game.There are multiple talented and experienced options in free agency.
Not sure stromberg showed much of anything.
Did you not see JPJ on the list?
So they sign Morse in a two year window, hypothetically. Why can’t the center they draft play G? Almost every center can play guard. Stromberg is an afterthought in all of this. You don’t pass up a ten year AP for a guy you hope can play but has shown nothing to support the idea that he can in fact play.
See post above ,even if we sign a vet center in FA? That was my whole point. If we sign a vet center in FA why would you draft another one in the 2nd round? We already have Stromberg. There are plenty of other holes that could be addressed on this team in the 2nd round.
I said in above post if center is the BPA in a PARTICULAR round I am drafting him . Stromberg can be a BU but just because he was a 3rd round pick from the previous failed regime , that failed particularly in the draft I am not marrried to him
Morse would be a good singing. He is a good center.
Why wouldnt you look for a younger option in FA if you go that route?
IF we sign Morse, I will look elsewhere. It should be BPA at a position of need. I'm not going through this again. Drafting a center in the 2nd round with the possible Morse signing writes off Stromberg as a center. You claim your not writing off draft picks. HA!
I think the team would want a vet center to go with the rookie QB. Hey i didnt realize the Oregon guy can play OG too.
If you sign a guy like Morse, it is still a position of need.
He would be a short term option and we won’t be competing for Subs with him under contract.
