ok so im watching tape today on the centers and the thing that really separates these guys is the type of system they really fit.
Obviously Daniels is a zone blocking center who tends to chip his initial block and step to the next level. he's smaller than price but uses his speed to engage with linebackers. Also he has a tendency to roll block or what i can shift block where he will grab someone and turn them a direction instead of setting his feet, dropping his weight, and engaging.
Price on the other hand is an angle or man blocker which is more suited to a power run game. He will grab his assignment and engage typically pushing to a specific angle and using mass to drive the defensive line back.
Without a shadow of a doubt the best fit for our team is Price for our division and our style of play. While initially I really liked Daniels I just don't think the guy fits our team well at all. Another thing that really stands out to me is the lower body strength of Price compared to Daniels and you can really see it on tape when they engage. Daniels very rarely engages to stop block or push back defenders, most of the time he plays against larger competitors you will see him chip block or roll them to delay the rush instead of outright stopping it. While this is acceptable in college especially in his conference he will absolutely get mauled in the north imo.
Lastly I just wanted to shut down some of this non sense on the thread that has nothing to do with actual scouting. Travis Frederick put up 21 on the bench press for his combine at a higher weight than Daniels... hows that working out for him in the nfl ?
