Daniel Jeremiah made a lot of comparisons of Erving to Walter Jones.

While I principle I agree with you... if there was a way they could make their cap work and keep Hudson they should have done it, but he's gone now and you need a center (that is of course unless you're OK with having a below-average C as your starter in Kush, which you're entitled to.)

If that happens, then I think it's irresponsible of the GM to just burn a 1st rounder on a hole that opens up in free agency, especially when it's at a position like C.

The fact that the Chiefs had McGlynn at LG is not an excuse for drafting a 1st round G, and it shouldn't be an excuse for drafting a C in the first round even if Kush sucks. You need to prepare for that circumstance another way-- through scouring the veteran market and keeping track of the training camp cuts.

It can't be Erving. That's irresponsible GMing 101.

Are we looking for an instant upgrade over Kush at center?

If so then **** this guy, he will NOT be an instant upgrade... grab a cheap vet after camp cuts and cross our fingers on Kush, it makes hella more sense than reaching WAY out for a starting center with our #1.

Exactly. We can fix that position permanently at any time. Just not in the first round.

ABR. Always be replacing. That's the NFL

The Pick: Center Cameron Erving, Florida State

What a horrendous ****ing waste of a pick.
