If Velasco turns out to be a solid center for us, what do the Steelers do with Pouncey?
Some have suggested that we move Pouncey to Guard. But, Guards historically don't get paid like Centers especially pro bowl centers. I can't imagine him being cool with that move.
Another issue, if Pouncey stays at Center do we pay him as the highest paid Center in the NFL?
My solution? Keep Velasco at Center, and use Pouncey as trade bait in the 2014 draft. I believe we could get a late first rounder for him.
This team desperately needs a franchise LT, and Jake Matthews is that guy. We might be drafting high enough to get him, but if not bundling picks to move up makes sense especially if we trade Pouncey.
Thoughts?
