He’s good. Very good. Maybe not as good as Travis Frederick but he would be an instant (and much younger and cheaper) upgrade at center.
Biadasz would be a good pick. We X4 fans would have to eat a little crow after all the grief we gave Spielman for drafting a Center with their first pick(Garrett Bradbury). I'd do it, though, as I've heard crow tastes like chicken. Some other guys I like at Center, who will most likely fall later in the draft, are Cesar Ruiz of Michigan, Jack Hanson of Oregon, Darryl Williams of Mississippi State and Zach Shackleford of Texas. Ruiz and Williams can play Center or OG. The versatility there is appealing. I'd tend to want either Ruiz or Williams as a pick over Biadasz because we have Lucas Patrick as Linsley's back up, now, and he isn't too shabby. Also because we can draft some needed talent at ILB or WR with that 1st Round pick and grab a Center, a bit later. Ruiz or Williams would be able to take over for Billy Turner in a pinch, as well as for either Patrick or Linsley, at Center. It is time we addressed our O Line and depth there, for the long term. I'm hoping to see RG and RT, as well as Center, addressed sometime in this draft or in FA.
