Has anyone watched Maurkice Pouncey or JD Walton playing center? I really think a more physical center is a big team need.

Iupati is off my board.

What "bad press" did you read about Mike Johnson? I'm wanting to see what his Combine looks like, but his on the field blocking looks pretty good.

I am no fan of Pouncey. Walton is just another name that I need to take a closer look at. He is on the radar, just I haven't zeroed in on him, yet. Maybe Caldwell is the more physical center you are thinking about.

I will not go so far as he is off my board, but i do not touch him in the 1st after his senior bowl play. In the 2nd round.....now I have to start thinking. He has raw raw raw skills, and coaching should help him. But he is going to need some hand to hand combat training and fast to get into the pit of the NFL.

I'm pretty sure Iupati is drafted before our 2nd round draft pick comes up, so that's why he's off my board. I'd draft him AFTER Asamoah and Mike Johnson, not before.
