If not, who's left and who could we get in the draft?

Re: Did we grab a center yet?

I would love to have Jeremy Newberry... He had a great year for the Raiders last year... Was actually one of the main reasons for the success of their run game. He's a big guy too... 6'5 315...

Re: Did we grab a center yet?

Here is a list of the centers left out there:

BAL Flynn, Mike (UFA-REL)
CIN Stepanovich, Alex (UFA)
CLE Friedman, Lennie (UFA)
GB Walter, Tyson (UFA)
HOU Flanagan, Mike (UFA-REL)
HOU Hodgdon, Drew (UFA-REL)
KC Wiegmann, Casey (UFA)
NYJ Smith, Wade (UFA)
OAK Newberry, Jeremy (UFA)
STL McCollum, Andy (UFA)
STL Romberg, Brett (UFA)
TB Lehr, Matt (UFA)
TB Wade, John (UFA)
WAS Pucillo, Mike (UFA)
WAS Tucker, Ross (UFA - Retired due to Injury)

Those are all players who have experience playing C, there may be others who teams project there but don't have significant experience at the position.

He is huge, Mahdi!
Was Wade Smith the starter for the Jets last year?

The players in red are the ones I would like to see here. Mainly because they are part of good OL.

3 of the C on your list are back ups.... Wade and Lehr are ok,,,, dont understand why you would leave the best C off the list...

Newberry, Wiegman, Flanagan and Flynn are all quality starters.

Like I said in my previous post....Newberry was one of the main reasons the Raiders were the 6th ranked rushing team last season.

I'd take Newberry and consider it an upgrade.

I actually didnt look at the names of the players. I looked at the team they played on. Now the players I would actually want to see are these. Steve Justice, Mike Pollack, Mike Flynn, and Casey Wigemann.

Outside of Newberry, no one else on that list would be an upgrade.

IMO we need a right guard more than a center
