I think Bengals management knows this and drafts OSU players to get fans at games. That and they're close to scout. Probably on TV for free in Cincy a lot.
I don't know about on this board but I do know that many draft profile sites had 3 OCs as 1st round / 2nd round picks. Ragnow, Price and Daniels.
If you wanted a technician and pure center, Daniels. If you want raw power, Price, but if you wanted a combination of the 2 Ragnow. However some stated that Price would be better in the NFL since he has a strong "seat" and doesn't get pushed over by big NT. The projections for best teams for him to go to had Cincinnati listed as he would assist with stopping the big guys in Pittsburgh and Baltimore.
I was fine with any of the 3 and wasn't upset with the Price pick. He hasn't lived up to expectations and it is odd that he has struggled so badly at both OC and OG. I still see him as young though and I think that he could improve.
As to the OSU players on the Bengals, didn't they have only Mike Nugent on their roster at one point. Price, Hubbard and Jordan are all recent guys, are there any that I am missing?
