I think they may be rare, but I know the Steelers have a knack for finding them. It's uncanny really.
They went from mike Webster to Dermontti Dawson, to Jeff Hartings to Maurice Pouncey.
After all these years, I'm still burned by Dave Widell getting stuffed at the point of attack, especially in short yardage, and wish we had better centers. I think Cheever would have been that guy had he not gotten injured.
Linder was every bit as good as Pouncey.

Yeah, Linder was really good in his prime but he wasn't Pouncey. Would love to get a Pouncy, Frederick, Saturday, or Mack

Agreed. I like this kid. The one major knock on him that I see is that he looks very thin. He needs to add bulk. At 6'7 1/2" and 312 lbs. He could stand to add another 12-15 lbs. I think it may help him hold up longer in the NFL. Personally, I would love to draft him somewhere in that 4-5 round area.

Not mine. He's my 10th rated Center prospect. He kept getting knocked back on his heels a lot and was walked back to the QB a lot during Senior Bowl week. I think it was Perrion Winfrey that was dominating him. I have concerns about his thin frame 285 lbs, lack of functional strength against bull rushing DT's and poor footwork at times.
A guy I hope we look at in say the 5th or 6th is Troy Polamalu's nephew, Isaiah Pola-Mao. He was a leader on that USC defense, good size and decent speed. Always like players with the blood line

I think you're thinking of someone else. Parham is a little undersized, but for a guard that's fine...and he's obviously a beast everywhere else.

Y'all know how much I respect the Packers drafting (I don't really like their WR size qualifications, but everything else). Here's their annual qualification board. Other than a bunch of WRs, if they aren't on this list there's a 90% chance I don't really like them.

All I know is, I watched him get absolutely "trucked" a few times during Senior Bowl Week. Maybe he did well in the American Athletic Conference, but he was not impressive against the "big boys."
So, is it concerning we have not had any punters or kickers visit us?......

I wouldn't be surprised if we took a kicker in the 7th.

Maybe we don't have any punters visiting, because our Punter was probably our MVP last season.

You hear the way that ball comes off his foot? WOW!
He's an immediate starter, bro. Immediate!

Not.
At.
All.
We are set at punter.
I'm not thrilled with Wright, but we don't need to set up one of our 30 visits to get a kicker.
