Over the past 10 years, only 8 Centers have been drafted in the first round.
In that time, there was only one year (2108) that two Centers were drafted in Round 1.

If you consider Graham Barton a Center, it would be unprecedented for Jackson Powers-Johnson and Zach Frazier to be drafted along with him in Round 1.
Thinking about a worst-case scenario with Dallas parachuting to Pick 32, history indicates that it will be extremely likely that a high-quality Center will be available to fill a key gaping hole on the O-line, even if we have to trade back.
