Linderbaum is far better at moving than Price.
Price also struggled a lot with getting off balance.
About the only thing Price was good at was being able to drive forward if he can get his hands on the defender.
Price also only had 1 year experience at C whereas Linderbaum has been a C his whole time at Iowa.
Most experts had Price rated as a second round pick.
At the time I did not mind the "reach" too much because we were desperate for a Center. I figured that even if Price did not become an All-Pro or Pro-Bowl player he would at least be a solid starter for a few years.
Pretty much everyone has Linderbaum as a mid-first round pick.
