4 3rd rounders and you don't move up to take Obi and take a giant reach at Oline

He's a very similar prospect to Justin Britt, actually. Pretty powerful and explosive, but doesn't move well laterally. 4.81s short shuttle vs. Taylor Moton's 4.58. He's a little stiff so I'm not sure how he will do outside of center. Maybe they don't plan to extend Britt?

Why did we draft a center? Did they want to move him to RT? I know he played other positions, but center is the one he has played the most. Center is the only position on our line that is solid.

This is an excellent pick for a team without a probowl center. I have to believe if he was there in the sixth round you take him.

Sure he will not play center with the success of Britt at the position. I am so-so with it. I am glad we addressed the line, but I don't have confidence with the FO to draft successful linemen. This could all change with further review though

I'll be happy if he turns out as well as Britt. Though I wish we could just extend Britt.

I hear he can only play center because it throws him off if he doesn't get to hike the football.

I think it's more that he needs to feel the loving touch of a QBs hands near his nuts before the snap. Comfort.

The Seattle FO would be stupid not to resign Britt.

My guess, is this is our new center and Britt is going back to guard. The draft guys I am watching said that he has played multiple positions but he is best at Center.

Yup. You get that little taint tickle going and it really jump starts him to drive block them nose tackles...

LSU had one of the best running games in the country even when Fournette wasnt healthy and did this with absolutely no qb. The dude can run block.

Im cool with it but not at this spot but someday you got to ask ur self when are we going to infuse an impact player with some speed on this team. It just seems like all the players I like are getting picked right before we pick like obi and King. I know John and Pete will play it up like we got the guy we were always looking for but we have know idea if they screwed the pooch on some of these guys. This pick seems like a reach and could of got had with one of our 3rd round picks. Hope we get chris godwin in the third tall wr and the kid got game. Im also hoping for a corner at some point.

If somehow Britt is too expensive, we have a backup Center...Right now he can play right guard & Ifedi goes to RT.
