2013 NFL Draft center rankings

Kevin C. Cox

Is Alabama’s Barrett Jones versatile, or a man without a true position? It’s true that he’s excelled at center, guard and tackle, but he hasn’t stuck at any of them. The NFL may not value versatility as much as we do and Jones’ draft stock could be tied to his all-star game performance.

For a power blocking team in need of a center, Wisconsin’s Travis Frederick will be hard to pass up. He’s the anchor of the Badgers’ line that improved as the season wore on.
