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.

It's pretty amazing we've had an absolute expert with inside info on every team sign up for the board...
