Judd Backett has been pretty transparent in interviews that they’d like to take a center. If Pronman’s assessment is generally correct, a few names that should be on the board at our pick are Ritchie, Edstrom, Brindley, Stramel. If they are able to trade up they might be able to get Moore, Danielson or Yager.
I suspect if Moore or Danielson do start to slip they’ll try to make a move.

I’m really surprised we haven’t heard more about Edstrom. 6’3 Swedish center that’s been a steady riser in his draft year. Sounds familiar…
