A little Giants draft news at Center

Y28 : 3/30/2023 2:37 pm
Yesterday was the Mississippi Pro Day, and Nick Broeker, a Guard expected to be drafted in the 4th round, was asked to takes snap at Center. The Giants were there.

Yesterday was also the Arkansas Pro Day, and the Giants were there to watch true Center Ricky Stromberg, also considered a 4th round pick.

And finally, today is the North Dakota State Pro Day. During the Senior Bowl, T Cody Mauch (a Day Two pick) was asked to practice at Center in front of scouts and now we see this report:

David Wyatt-Hupton
@DWyattHupton
Jets (and Giants) staff members were running the offensive line positional drills at North Dakota State's pro day, so can guarantee they got a good look at Cody Mauch.

This year's draft has 9 draftable Centers, but good to see the Giants are looking at other draftable linemen, to see if they can move to Center at the next level.

awesome report. Your draft nuggets are great. One of the best parts of BBI.

My guess is the Giants are looking to draft a center early on day three. They've taken a look at a quite a few, including Scruggs.

I don’t know who he is but I remember back during the post-2006 offseason that he said to look out for Kawika Mitchell as someone the Giants may be looking at. Been reading his every word ever since.
IOL factors in for me starting in 3rd round

He doesn't have enough fingers far all the pulses he has his hands on!
Like rust, he never sleeps.
I do get the sense

from the current Front Office that we dont care about the "true C". They have no problem turning a good Lineman into a C.
Thanks Y28...

Your contributions to this site are some of my favorite.

Juice Scruggs is a name I’ve focused on for day 3.
This is also why

when people start stressing over the state of the center position, I chuckle a bit. There WILL be other candidates added to the mix by camp.

Some of us don’t have much content to share, which leaves us only with our opinion, I would be in that group.

But do enjoy and appreciate those like yourself who do some research and share what they find…..thanks
Good stuff Y28

Thank you.
I think Cody Mauch could sneak into the 1st round...

And going solely by what I've read about him, I doubt he would be available for the Giants at pick #57.

I would go into the 2nd for a snee type at right guard but jonc is right about value being round 3 and beyond. This is especially true for center. It is the least athletically demanding ol position and you do see a lot of center conversions being successful

Mauch is 6'5", but only 302 lbs. Only 32 3/8 inch arms. Bredeson is 6'5" and 315. Lemeiux is 6'4" and 310.

Bredeson s Combine arm length was 31&1/8
