Maybe he's including Beau Benzschawel, who was claimed off waivers yesterday. He has been mostly a Guard though, and he has only appeared in 3 NFL games in 2 years. They must be thinking John Matsko can get the best out of him. Who knows, maybe...
Chase Roullier, Tyler Larsen, and Keith Ismael are the only true Centers currently on the depth chart.

KJ Wright would be a solid fit, Kwon Alexander also

Personally I would only class Roullier as "respectable" as in a veteran starter. The other guys basically haven't played a down outside of ST. Hard to class them as respectable.

Maybe I missed this posted, but Keim has stated the Skins do have interest in LT Villanueva from the Steelers and could be more interest post draft if he don’t take a tackle high in the draft.
I would be in favor of this move if we don’t come away with one in the draft

I really really hope Beau can help. I doubt it, but I really hope so. I've known him since he was 5 years old or so. His youngest brother is friends with my daughter. It would make me incredibly happy to see him succeed, but I really doubt it. He is beat up bad physically.

Maybe add Fisher and Schwartz to that list. Though neither look healthy right now, I'd kick the tyres if we don't get a new LT in the draft.

Villanueva would be a solid addition, whether they draft a T or not. He's not Trent Williams, but about the same age and damn good. He definitely has a few more years left in him. I might be mistaken, but I don't think he's missed a game due to injury since he's been in the NFL ~2014-15.

That's cool ... and brutally honest.
Obviously, RR and Co see enough to bring him in. Hopefully they can bring the best out of him.

Yeah, his younger brother had to retire in college due to knee issues. His youngest brother will be a freshman at Wisconsin in the fall and has had some injury problems as well. His dad also played at Wisconsin and had to retire (while in college) due to back issues.
They are just huge people and have all the pain associated with being huge.
Tremendous people though by all accounts, so even if Beau isn't playing he'll be a huge plus in the locker room.
