I was speaking about priorities in the draft. I expect them to pursue Mack in free agency. If this signing doesn't take place, Caldwell will probably have Bowanko, Shatley, Cann and possibly Wisnieuski compete for this position. Taking a center that high (1st 3 rounds) in the draft will not be his priority. On the other hand, they need someone to push Joeckel and this year's draft class at left tackle is one of the deepest. It wouldn't surprise me at all if they get a "steal" at this position in the 3rd round. Johnstone, Murphy and homegrown Theus are all guys who they could develop and eventually become starters if Joeckel doesn't significantly improve.
