The #Giants are likely to select a center in draft. They held a private workout with Weston Richburg in recent weeks

It does make me happy, and I do think we'd have to take him in the 2nd round.
From DraftNasty:
He's likely a 3rd, but if gone, the Swanson fans might be happy.
MMartin fans: he likely goes late 1, earlier than us in the 2nd round.
Having one of these three guys on the bench behind Walton, learning and working in the weight room for a couple of seasons, would be the best way not involving huge money to get out of the bad situation that they created by not drafting one of the premier Center prospects (Mack, Wood, Unger, Pouncey) of the last few years combined with the inability of Baas to stay healthy and the loss of Boothe in free agency.
It's not the ideal solution, but it's what they have to do.
Weston Richburg: 6033, 298
Ryan Kalil (2013 1st team All-NFL): 6-2, 300
Apparently he has All-Pro size.
