I want the Hawks to draft a center rather highly this year.
That's the whole point of trading for Nick Easton.
Easton is a lot better than #1 Center prospect Ryan Kelly. If they traded for Easton, they'd be set at Center and they could use their 1st and 2nd round picks for a Tackle and a Guard. The Center group in this draft class is not good. If they use their 1st or 2nd pick for Ryan Kelly, it wastes a high pick on a guy that won't be a starting Center for another couple of years. Easton already has a year of being a backup under his belt and he's ready to be a starter.
I highly doubt that. Kelly has been described as the key cog in the Alabama offense. He's highly praised for a reason. Just because his SPARQ score is lower does not mean that he is inferior to a third string center on the Minnesota Vikings who has already bounced around the league quite a bit.
SPARQ scores don't always equal success in the league. Three teams in a year in a league starved for offensive lineman doesn't bode well for Easton being anything close to what you're describing him as. It just doesn't work like that. Young, cheap, controllable players don't swap teams three times in a season. When they do, there's a reason, and it's likely a very glaring one.
