2010 NFL Draft Center Rankings

Bench Warmer
Center:
1) Maurkice Pouncey – Florida
2) J.D. Walton – Baylor
3) Matt Tennant – Boston College
4) Jeff Byers - USC
5) Eric Olsen – Notre Dame


Position Grade: C

Pouncey is the top center from this group. He has position versatility (can flip to either interior guard spot), and is athletic for his size. Walton was a 3 year starter in Baylor's offense, and plays with a good level of intensity, but will likely need time to adjust to the pro game.

Last year’s group had a much higher level of talent than this group.
 
Centers don't usually get much hype, but Pouncey is a lock for the first. Cleveland is a team that has valued centers in the past (Jeff Faine, Alex Mack), which could lead other teams to take a chance on a center in the first.
