Overview:
The center class isn’t particularly deep especially if the top two guys get drafted as guards. While there is a lack of depth, Pouncey, Hudson and Wisniewski all project to be very good starters at the next level. Unfortunately after them there is a significant drop off in talent. Most of the rest of the class will probably be career backups at best, but one or two could develop into good starters.
