The complicated case of Landon Dickerson and why no centers could go in first 2 rounds

You’ll have to understand why I’m borrowing a comment from a Turf Show Times member as a jumping off point today. It’s because this community is stocked with great thoughts that make my job easier when I can borrow them for a new thread worth its own discussion.

This comes from Ferragamo15’s comment on Monday’s post about the top-10 centers in the 2021 NFL Draft and it addresses important points about both the top center prospect and the general approach teams will take in such an unusual year:

Landon Dickerson’s rankings:

LZ: 23rd overall (possible 1st round)

PFN 185th overall (6th round, for medical reasons)

ESPN 61st

PFF 45th

TDN 39th

Daniel Jeremiah 40th

CBSSports 67th

SI 3rd round

Drafttek 62nd

If a guy is a 1st rounder on ability but a potential 6th rounder due to injury, who knows?
