Dermontti Dawson measured under 6'2" and only 272 lbs. at the Combine. He was a 6 time First Team All Pro, a 7 time Pro Bowler and a Hall of Famer.

Mike Webster was drafted as a 6'1" 255 lb. Center and was a 7 time First Team All Pro, a 9 time Pro Bowler and a Hall of Famer. 

You don't need to be a behemoth to play Center in the NFL. Linderbaum is listed at 6'3" 290 lbs. That is hardly undersized. He's bigger than Dawson and Webster and is basically the same size as Mawae.

You can't compare people from multiple eras ago size wise. That's just silly. Everyone is bigger and stronger and faster now.

You could have said the person that he is almost always comped to in Jason Kelce. They are similar size. But now you are drafting one of the least valuable positions with a top 10 pick and hoping that he is an outlier physically. That's an extremely unwise decision considering what else would be on the board at the time.

Center one of the least valuable positions? Are you crazy? They are in charge of getting all the blocking schemes straight for the entire O-Line. One could argue that outside of LT, Center is the most important position on the O-Line.
