That's No Moon Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 2 minutes ago, TheyCallMeAndy said: Bills are listing him as a C/G Could he compete with Edwards at LG and groom at Center? If he's not starting one day one, whether he makes the team or not depends on his ability to play some amount of guard. They can't keep a #2 center only player. There's no roster space for it. This would be a reason he dropped. If you're taking this player you need to believe he's better than your current center. If he's not, or it's close, you are going in another direction. You want this kid to start and shove McGovern back to guard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beane said they like him at both G/C which leads me to think he’s gonna push Edwards for a starting so spot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo716 Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 (edited) 53 minutes ago, TheyCallMeAndy said: Bills are listing him as a C/G Could he compete with Edwards at LG and groom at Center? Certainly possible... He's going to have to improve his technique to have significant reps at guard and his core strength will be tested alot more at guard You can mask it a bit at center but you're going to have very tough matchups at guard 1on1... And he doesn't have the greatest Length mass or core strength for the spot He certainly can become a starting center with some seasoning... And It won't hurt to see how he can play at guard but his Length and habit of sometimes reaching would have to be corrected as well as getting a stronger core and bulking a bit With his lack of length.. and not the biggest size... He certainly is built for center but it wouldn't hurt to see Edited April 28 by Buffalo716 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coincidence I think not. 4 hours ago, dave mcbride said: Am I getting this right? For the low, low, low price (actual cost: zero) of flipping picks with Carolina, the Bills received a cheap and cost-controlled highly experienced center from the best team in the country who may well start from day one. Didn't the Kelce retire this offseason, where the hell were the Eagles on a Georgia Center? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Who Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 1 hour ago, TheyCallMeAndy said: Bills are listing him as a C/G Could he compete with Edwards at LG and groom at Center? One of the reasons he dropped is he is pretty much limited to Center. I think we're a much stronger unit if he ends up able to start, with McGovern back at guard. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Who Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 4 minutes ago, Victory Formation said: Why is he limited to Center? Isn’t OG easier to play? He has very short arms, and while powerful, limited athleticism. He's an absolute warrior. I think he could be your starting Center for a decade, but I don't see him as a guard. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GASabresIUFan Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 If Van Pran starts for the Bills it will be at C. He played C at UGA and is excellent at the shotgun snap. If Edwards falters or the McGovern at C experiment fails, the Bills will move McGovern to G, Edwards to the bench and Van Pran to center. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar story for Van Pran, who has been pegged as a late Day 2 talent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's mentally rougher They have the least amount of 1on1 blocks and there aren't a lot of pure 0 techs giving them hell 80% of snaps They are mostly combo blocking and getting to second level Guards need to be bigger and better blockers now 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
