But I think it's more defensible to overpay an average RT than an elite C.
Because, as has been noted, the pure scarcity associated with the position.
Cam Robinson will get roughly what Taylor got. Maybe a little more, maybe a little less -- unlikely different enough to be notable either way. And he'll be, essentially, Taylor.
OTs are just absurdly expensive and even finding an average one in FA costs a small fortune. Finding an average C? Pft - just teach a guard to snap.
It's just a much much much easier position to fill at a representative level.
