I think counting on a guy to replace Karras who has never played an NFL game at C (Lee or McLaughlin) is something I eould not do.
But with this FO? Who knows?
Patrick has played C badly before. He is the de facto #3 C. I do not think we'll carry 4 guys with C chops. Karras & Patrick are locks. As are OBJ, Mims, Fairchild, Rivers, and Ford.
Only room for one of Lee & McLaughlin in my book.
Though if Volson goes, or we carry 10 OL, there could be another spot.
McLaughlin is C only. Lee did play some T last year in limited snaps. If he is preferred to Kirkland, Stueber, Cochran, and the rest, and can play another spot, he has a shot.
1. OBJ, LT, starter
2. Mims, RT, starter
3. Karras, C, starter (also can play G)
-----------
4. Patrick, OG/C, starter/reserve
5. Ford, OT/OG, OT3 + G reserve/starter
6. Fairchild, LG, starter/reserve
------------
7. Rivers, OG/OT, reserve
-----------
8. Volson, LG, starter/reserve
-------------
9. Lee, C/T/G, reserve
10. McLaughlin, C, reserve
