    McCarthy has clearly been looking for a big center for some time. He tried Spitz there, then there was the Nick McDonald thing. It makes sense with all the teams switching to the 3-4 around the league.

    Lang is 6-4 but that's certainly not too tall. Mangold, Birk, Mack, Pouncy, and many more are all that size. There are a couple in the league that are really tall. Unger is 6'5" the shitty Cook guy for Dallas is 6'6".

    • I'm not so sure large is bad at center, unless it also means slow.

      • Well, that equation might come down to the question of whether the Packers can get a guard who's better than Lang in the draft, and if Lang will be better than any center they could pick up in the draft.

          Somewhere in cyber space I saw a thingy scenario about TT trading all the way up to where DT Sharrif Floyd had droped to spot NO. 11. Yikes that would cost a ransome!

          Ted Thompson won't be trading up for anyone not named Datone Jones and maybe Datone Jones is a tad dramatic for Ted Thompson.

          TT can sit at #26 and get a decent OT or DT.

            I'm looking at an OLBer in my mock at pick #122 in the fourth round. All my picks are going to be 'meat and potatoes 'guys.

              For picks after the top two rounds your right. That first round pick this year better be a starter and a contributor. I'm trying to mock the first three rounds that give us hope there.

              • If memory serves, Sharper was also one of those CB/S transitions from the college game to the pro game.

                  Mere facts. They mean nothing. I refuse to change my point of view in the face of contradictory factual evidence.

                      I don't think TT and MM have been looking for a center very hard then - since they've never drafted one. Unless you count Junius Coston in 2005... they've drafted a bunch of "versatile" OL and tried to throw 'em in there, but they don't seem to be too exorcised over finding a decent center.

                      I'd be shocked if TT drafted a center.

                          They drafted Wells too. That's pretty significant.

                              • If Lane Johnson were to fall to #26, and the coaching staff was unsure of Sherrod's prognosis for return, do you have to take him? Newhouse was playing out of position, trying his best, but he's not a LT. Here's a link to an article on Lane Johnson and some video.
