Chiefs How bad was the decision to not keep Rodney Hudson?

Hudsen has gone on to become one of the best centers in the league for the Raiders while we've had nothing but trouble with the center position ever since.

I imagine that shitty Andy Heck makes a difference but still, not good.

Overall Grade: 81/100

Rodney Hudson has developed into the NFL's best pass-protection center since arriving in Oakland in 2015, and he's been key in keeping Derek Carr upright on so many of his reps. Hudson's strength is the trump card, and when he combines that with his relentless effort and active feet, it's hard to generate leverage or get him out of position.

Oakland's offense was a problem in 2017, and that included a line that regressed in both run and pass blocking. But when Hudson's isolated on tape, it's clear he's still a tremendous player. Few interior offensive linemen can match his combination of pure in-line power, body control and agility to and through the second level.
