Trey might be on the low end of average but he was better than Price last year. And he was tendered because they want to see if he can keep (or improve) that success as last year. I wasn't trying to say Jordan would replace Price at C but there is a third C prospect on the roster just in case Price falters. Price, to me, feels like when the Bengals picked Fisher in 2015. The Bengals were prepared to take Fisher at 21 like you said but didn't think Ogbuehi would be there too. On the flip side, Ragnow was very likely going to be the pick at 21 but he wasn't there. Therefore, they went with a guy they also had rated about the same range in Price and took him there since Ragnow wasn't available. Price probably was more in the 30-40 range.
