They pick high enough to get any Center in the Draft.

Blount wasn't horrible in replacement time, but he is clearly a back up. Have not seen Baron play this year so I don't know what he has. Depth and a good Center and they should be back in the Eastern hunt next year.
On paper they would be the third best team in the Conference.
