And we can't know for sure about how much Pollack liked Price, as we (and everyone else) knew the target was actually Frank Ragnow (who was stellar this past year).

Jonah Williams was basically in the same category as Tyler Eifert. The Bengals had no expectation that he would fall to them and it became a no-brainer when he actually did.
Out of all the OL picks the Bengals have made in the past decade, Jonah Williams was probably the safest and easiest of them all.
I just hope Williams doesn't follow Eifert's footsteps in terms of injury history once becoming a pro though.

James Daniels graded out higher than both that year and was drafted after both.  He has had much more success at the NFL level.  I'm still not sure why we drafted price over daniels.  Hell, I remember I was all in on Isiah wynn that year and he was drafted after price as well.  I think they should just hire pff to do all their drafts from now on they would probably have more success lmao
