Price is a good technician. Im sick and tired of watching our Center get pushed back into the QB on a regular basis. I'll take the guy who is more apt to prevent that.
Personally, they are 1 and 1a. I'd be happy with either, but I would rather have Price.
As someone who lifts weights a lot, I believe that the bench press is about the dumbest lift to measure functional athletic strength with.
Functional strength comes from your butt and hamstrings, and to some extent the lower back. If you don't have the flexibility and strength in those muscle groups, you can bench all you want. You'll still get shoved around by guys with lower body strength and flexibility. If an NFL scout/coach drafts a guy based on his bench, he should be fired.
