Rank the Most Important Positions

[SteelersPride]

Teams don't draft rhem mid to late. 3 teams in the last half decade have. 29 haven't so I wouldn't say teams draft C their
The vast majority don't touch them in the first two rounds at all. On rare occasions 3 teams out of 32 decided to pick a C late first round. Big difference.

who cares about rounds?

2016 draft...6 C's drafted
2015 draft...3 C's drafted
2014 draft...9 C's drafted
2013 draft...6 C's drafted
2012 draft...1 C drafted

Could go back further just don't feel like it. More C's were drafted then I thought and some are very high picks and yes plenty of teams drafted C's in the mid to late rounds. So to say teams don't draft mid to late is false.

Seein as how the Steelers have gotten by with rarely paying big money to the LT position, I'd devalue it in my list. But I think we have been very spoiled by Ben in that area. His mobility, pocket presence, etc has made it easier to get by with a relatively rag-tag group for so many years. Last 2-3 years have been the best O-line that he has ever worked with. And even then they have had a 6th Rd pick & a UDFA at LT. Also helps that they have a HOF O-lineman as their O-line coach

Steelers also have the best RB and the best WR to go along with one of the better blocking interior OL in Decastro. Its a rather risky proposition to rush the Steelers. In the playoffs, IIRC there was one play where the Steelers ran it on 3rd and long knowing there would be a gap where Dee Ford was going to try to rush Ben and the Steelers got something like 20 yards on the ground on that play.

Want me to quadruple that in favor?

He's trying to look up the definition of quadruple, before he continues down this path.

Mid to late 1st round is what I've been saying. I didnt say mid to late in the draft. I know teams draft Centers but they dont mid to late 1st round!

waitinf for all those posts supporting you, sir

 

[SteelersPride]

i believe i posted a quick 7-8 posts, so u need to nback your comments up with 28-32 comments supporting you

Happy that I posted all the people that agree with me now? I posted this for you too Manster.

Football is all about Building a Team, most the time Teams look for players at Certain Position more so than other positions. If you were Building a Football Team how would you rank the Most Important Positions?

One comment on yours since you specified 43 DEF...shouldn't MLB be a little higher maybe with your scheme? That's a lot of ground to cover.

In this aspect you are right, Centers are the Least Important position in the NFL.

QB, DE, LT, CB, WR

Broncos and Seahawks haven't had a whole lot at offensive line, either. Generally winning a super bowl is done with a franchise QB or an elite defense and usually with both.

Still, Julio Jones was in the super bowl last year. Antonio Brown goes to the playoffs on a regular basis. Deandre Hopkins does as well and he doesn't even have a QB. AJ Green sometimes does. Mike Evans has likely been propping up Jameis Winston.

The top guys are worth their weight in gold imo. After that, yeah, WRs are fairly interchangeable.

You know he actually has a point. However it's not that centers are unimportant, they are a key cog of the OL. It's that they are in fact easier to find in the draft. How many tackles in college get converted to center? How about guards getting converted to centers. Now reverse that, how many college centers get converted to guard or tackles? So it's a supply and demand question. If your building a expansion team, you are much more likely to use a high pick on a tackle ( or even guard ) then center. You'll try to find a center later in the draft as a rule, because the pool is larger. Doesn't actually mean they are less important per say, because they are a key cog in the OL, yet there is less urgency to obtain one due to a larger pool to choice from, thus in a way less important.

Oh he does- it's a big reason why I have center as low as I do. The way he argues it is incoherent however and just dodges actual discussion. His stubborness is fairly grating.

I think its hilarious you guys are arguing over the most minor of details.

Every position matters in the NFL but if we're talking value then almost no one is breaking the bank on a center. Center is not a valuable position. It just isnt.

Center is an important position. You have a bad center then you aren't running the ball. Full stop. No run game. Additionally, you might have some issues in the passing game if someone has a DT (or DE in a nascar situation) that is a sub 4.9 40 with leverage type of player.

Also for the love if god if you're trying to make fun of someone, don't post 8 grammatical errors from your cellphone and act like you're dissing someone.

[SteelersPride]

lets not forget that harold states in his post that centers are a key cog of the OL.......

 

[SteelersPride]

would you care to try again?

maybe truthfrog's rankings, clayton support you and you listed him twice

jersey hawk has them listed as #6? thats supporting you?

tducey lists like 5 positions,

beaker lists them in the top 1/2 of his rankings?

davis mike doesnt list all positions

stomp lists 3 positions.......
