Stork has visited twice.Unless one of the top 3 C falls to the 4th round i think it Goodwin tutoring Stork and Lito for a year and then the best man takes the job

I think this is the most likely scenario. I've just never believed that we would put a rookie out there at center to call the shots. I wouldn't mind it if it were the best center in the draft but I just don't see us plugging in someone like Stork and finding out of he's ready or not.

Strength and conditioning needed. Thats all.

But, do we have the coach that can do this?

Not talkin' about Sean...

Good question. That will remain to be seen? All I really know is without a strong play from Center our line looks like a wounded duck up the middle, I bet if Brees has a choice Center needs fixed, quick. Would I draft this guy? Yes! I like his mean streak!!

He looks like he has a bright future in the NFL and he looks to be a great fit here.
I don't see the downside of grabbing this guy in the 2nd or 3rd round. I'd be elated

I read his bio that Danno posted and they say he has a nasty streak that runs a little past the whistle. He's good in the trenches and moves well in traffic.
He's good in getting to the second level and sealing the block. His negatives are all coachable. He has a ton of upside since he only played the position for a year and is coming out as a Junior.
Ding! Ding! We have a winner!

Started at guard his freshman and sophomore years at USC. Says a lot that he started at multiple positions and that gives us more depth if we do sign Goodwin. He would be backup guard and center along with Lelito.

see that would have to be the main factor in the pick. they would have to believe that coaching will solve the issues. because what i saw of him, he was ok but nothing to rank him as the #1 top 5 but not the best of the best. it has to be all about upside.

so in that i have to have faith and approach the pick as oh well lets see what we got

. pass judgement 2 years down the road. get up fill the snack bowl and wait till the next pick and hope i get all excited with that one.
