Could the Rams draft a center this year and expect him to start next season?
Since 2010, eight players listed as a center at Pro-Football-Reference have been drafted in the first round. I can’t account for the small possibility that some players were drafted at another position and then moved to center, but even a smaller number of those players would be ready to immediately transition to snapping the ball in year one.
This is not a concern I have with the reporting, but I am getting ahead of any potential comments regarding the draft and the center position.
