There is second round C talent.  
It is possible the NFL Draft begins at #5 if Atlanta trades out to a QB needy team.  Pitts to me is that pick for the Bengals.  Nothing like a TE with elite TE size and elite WR speed and production.  Toss up to me between Sewall and Chase if Pitts is gone.  I'd love to make the decision for the Bengals, I'd take Sewall because we have talent at WR and little of it on the OL.  I'd still look at a starting C in round 2 if the grades are there at #38.

To be fair, Price was only really used at C for his rookie year before being moved to G after Hopkins beat him out.
His deficiencies are more prevalent when at G.
I think Price can hold down C until Hopkins returns, but I can understand and accept drafting a C prospect in Rd 2 or even Rd 3 as insurance or replacement.
