Free Agency: C or Guard

[Hoofbite]

I really would like to see Nicks on the team but I just don't think it will happen.

So instead of looking for a G in Free Agency, I think maybe the better route would be looking for a C.

There are some good Cs available here soon.

Packers
Houston
San Diego

All three of the centers that play for those teams is available and they all graded out top 12.

One graded out the best, I think the C for Houston, IIRC. Green Bays C came in at #4.

Just looking at the pay to each position, snagging a center and putting DeCastro or the #2 G square in the crosshairs might be more feasible.

I looked it up a while back so I may not be correct but I think the yearly average for the Top 5 centers between G and C is a couple million apart. I think Top 10 Gs make like 5M and Top 10 Cs make like 3M.

Of course, we're talking about potentially signing the best that each position has to offer but there's no way signing a C would be more costly than signing Nicks.

Thoughts?

Two things

1) We need a center more than we need a guard
2) guards in the draft are significantly better than the centers

1+2 says, acquire center in FA and guard in draft

You forgot 3) Cost.

So, 1+2+3 should produce a C around the 13th of March.

But yeah, I like the idea of a C with the quality at G that might be there at 14.

Even a consolation slight move back for the #2 G may be worth it. If he lasts that long. I can't remember his name but supposedly he had a good combine.

I really think Chris Myers re-signs with the Texans. The respect is mutual between the two. Houston loves him and he loves playing for the Texans. I can't see either side walking away from their respective situations.

Packers are interested in Myers to replace Wells, from what I heard.

Wells wouldn't be a bad option for us at all.

I think center is VERY important, clearly Costa isn't the fucking answer, I HATE HIM.... I'll never forget the clip of that dumbass still in his stance when the ball was snapped against the NYG's a few years back! OMG
