Conclusion. If we want impact O-line players to help us next year. Year 1, We need to draft em in the top 100 picks. Luckily for us we have probably 5 picks to get it done. Now what. Mocking Dan over at Mockingthedraft.com has his top 100 players and there are some good choices to get those two day-one starters if we want them.

1.Maurkice Pouncey C Fla 6'5 318 should project as top Center
2.Stefan Wisniewski C Penn St 6'3 297 as of yet undeclared
3.Mike Johnson LG Alabama 6'6 305 can definitely reach the 2nd level in run blocking
4.Kris O'Dowd C USC 6'5 300 also undeclared
5.Mike Iupati G Idaho 6'5 330 Idaho a definite mauler, not sure if ZB is his thing
6.Mike Pouncey G Fla 6'5 320 Mocking Dan projects as 75th best prospect


  I guess the caveat in this is to look at the Buffalo Bills. Eric Wood and Andy Levitre I think have performed well yet the team not so much. Will it require that type effort to make our Offensive Line dominent like we once had here in Kansas City?

In 2011 we have some of the same names.

Original Post

We have some choices, possibly one of the Centers will go in each of the 1st 4 rounds. Most of the Top Centers do not project to serious Guard consideration this year. Who might need a Center? Chicago, Oakland, and Washington would all like a Center barring other needs. Cincinnati, Miami, Minnesota, NY Giants, and our Chiefs would like a starting caliber Offensive Center in the 2011 draft. Again we have many picks to get it done! Six picks in the top 136 picks.
