PE isn't going to like it.

Discount it all you want, but the guy used metrics to give his conclusion. You used the draft, and if you recall a good number of us explained how Centers stick around a lot longer and teams often only have one true C on the team.

In addition I personally wouldn't put C #2, but I'd put C very high, because I'm building the OL before I get a QB and risk his career via injuries.

Dude his metrics said a ST gunner is waaaaay more important then a LT or a DE. That’s just stupidity and it wasn’t metrics it was points for how far they got into the playoffs. So regular old dude writing a blog from years ago. So you want to tell me a ST gunner is way up the list with QB. It’s a ridiculous post.

Bob Quin drafted a C at 20 last year.


He plays Gaurd though. Since Quin drafted a C in the third in 2016.


Not ruling the position out at #5 this go round.

Look... I’m willing to try and be objective but when you come up with a blog post from a non writer whose formula for ranking has ST gunner as the 3rd most important position what do you want me to say?

he doesnt accept the fact that centers often play many positions on the line, and our often converted guards and tackles from college

objective means not letting your own feelings influence you, you have to be incapable of that

its still a valid argument

 

[Dude]

Was yapping about this today with the old man. He reckons there are 3 basic things: o-line + QB, d-line, and ST. Then come the positions: WRs, RBs, TEs, and all the fun.

Not saying he’s right but that is a damn good and simple breakdown. Get the lines, a leader, and a bunch of scrubs for the ST.

Yes it is. Members of the o-line rank higher than other positions.

That's brutal for the dude. Also a big loss for the Pats.

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.
