i think i agree with almost everything you said....

im fascinated by this center "mystery". so if we apply this theory to center, would you guess that anchrum was drafted to develop and replace Blythe?

I definitely think Anchrum is in play at the center spot but I wouldn't go so far to say he was drafted to replace Blythe.

It seems their position is they have several in house candidates who play that position.

Snead often gives clues too. Not just with what he says but also in the order he says it. As RamRuler above pointed out, when discussing in house candidates for center, he started with Corbett, then brought up Allen, and added that Shelton can play the position as well. I think that's a very telling snapshot into their current thinking.

It is a mystery who they really have pegged as first option. My guess has been Allen but Corbetts up there too.

I think what shouldn't be a mystery is that they're not going to feel like they have to rush to the podium and draft a center at #57. In fact the more I'm thinking about it, drafting IOL that early wouldn't fit any of their past patterns.
