The Denver Broncos addressed the center position in the fourth round, drafting Max Garcia from Florida University.
When the Broncos traded Manny Ramirez on the first day of the draft, it was apparent that the team was going to need a center to compete with Gino Gradkowski. Max Garcia is quite a versatile player as he has played every position on the offensive line, making him a solid pick to work with and fit him in a spot on the line where the Broncos can get the most of his potential.
With that, time to hit the Twitter Universe and see what fans and analysis think of the pick… as well as my reaction.
Max Garcia is a solid pick for the #Broncos The fact that he can play any position on the line is quite amazing! He'll be a great player!

Max Garcia, a center/guard from Florida, is our 4th rd pick. A smart, versatile player. Had a great visit with him and glad he's a Bronco!

Garcia also has positional versatility; although he projects as a center, where he started in '14, he also saw time at LG & LT in '13.

Broncos get their center in Florida's Max Garcia at No. 133. Mayock: 'He has the versatility to play a bunch of places.'

Garcia is another prospect renowned for his toughness. At 309 pounds, he holds his own against nose tackles 25 to 40 pounds heavier.

New Bronco C Max Garcia was one of five Draft Eligible Power 5 centers to not allow a single sack all season.

Garcia seems to fit the ZBS but don't know a ton about him. Hope he ends up starting at C tbh
