Pretty certain Florida would take BPA with the #1 center gone. Back in 2013 Florida needed both high end Centers and Dmen.
Nashville... only took jones knowing they could trade him for a #1 down the road and because they were certain the next 2 centers were on a completely different talent tier.
Carolina then takes the next best center. They lose out on Lindholm who is obviously the center they coveted.
