I've read a number of articles about the 2023 draft being weak at the C position. Brad Biggs in today's article says 2024 is supposed to be a better draft for centers. I thought that was mighty good to hear.

"Center position will be a priority in the offseason. The 2023 draft was not a good one for centers. Three were drafted in the second round: Joe Tippmann (Wisconsin, New York Jets), Homewood-Flossmoor product John Michael Schmitz (Minnesota, New York Giants) and Juice Scruggs (Penn State, Houston Texans). Tippmann has played guard for the Jets. Ricky Stromberg (Arkansas, Washington Commanders) went in Round 3. That’s it for the top four rounds. It’s early — and scouts prefer to lean on late-season evaluations for picks at the top of the draft — but next year’s draft projects to be stronger for centers."
