CENTER RANKINGS 2027 NFL DRAFT

Centre is the thinnest position in the class. The first centre on our board sits deeper than in any of the previous six years, and none comes close to the top thirty-two.

The quality is in the consistency rather than the ceiling. Oregon's Iapani Laloulu was a Rimington Trophy finalist and a first-team All-American by the Football Writers, allowing one sack across a full playoff season on a run of 27 consecutive starts. Nebraska's Justin Evans gave up no sacks in thirteen starts and is the most complete two-phase centre in the group, a converted defensive lineman who had 14.5 sacks as a high school senior. Georgia's Drew Bobo, son of the Bulldogs' offensive coordinator, allowed neither a sack nor a hit across ten SEC starts.

Teams needing a pivot will find capable starters here, and several of our ranked guards have snapping experience. What they will not find is one worth taking early.
