In this instance, it wound up being a bit of a reach, but we didn't know that Hopkins was a serviceable C at that point. We had to have a C, and Price was a good prospect....but yeah, Derwin James....lol.
Good point, I think Price's work ethic will serve him well moving forward.
Not to be a homer, but if you watched James at FSU, you wouldn't have had many doubts. The dude was ALL OVER the field making plays and tackles. A natural. I couldn't believe he lasted until SD.
It just amazes me when people label Price a bust already. The guy tore his pec at the combine, so he had no real weight training during the off season, he only got to do no contact walk throughs at OTA's and Training Camp. Then he gets injured in what, the second game? So he misses the first half or so of the season...… his rookie season, and yet people are going to call him a bust because he struggled at times as a starting rookie center. Laughable.
