The Kansas City Chiefs are likely looking for interior line help in the upcoming 2012 NFL Draft, and their latest prospect visit features center Ben Jones of Georgia as the next candidate up for inspection. Jones is one of the better center prospects in the draft, and he's already worked out privately for the Ravens, Rams, Falcons and Jets among others.
Now the Chiefs have to consider whether they are interested in grabbing Jones later in the draft or a prospect like David DeCastro early. The team is likely to lose center Casey Wiegmann to retirement, but they drafted Rodney Hudson in the second round from Florida State last year to help ease that transition since Wiegmann went through the same retirement questions in 2011.
Hudson is versatile enough, however, to move over to a guard position if they like a center better like Jones. It would not surprise if the Chiefs grabbed a couple of offensive line prospects in the draft. However, tackle is also needed so only one interior lineman is likely.
"This has been a dream of mine to play in the NFL," said Jones recently in an interview with Aaron Wilson. "I'm soaking in the moment. I'm not really that nervous. Eerything has worked out and I'm looking forward to the opportunity."
