He is a must have IMO, so if we draft him at 12, I'm fine with it.
Well, as a true OSU homer as you will ever find, I'm not so sure that I agree. Price may develop into an effective NFL Center, but in my opinion, he won't be "day 1 ready", like you'd expect from a Center taken in the top half of the 1st round.
Oklahoma, Iowa, Michigan, and for most of the game Penn St. attacked the hell out of the center of the line, to find success. And, I'm not so sure how he stacks up against any 3-4 NTs that he will face in the NFL.
I'm more sold on Ragnow from Arkansas. He was a 4 year starter at Center for the Hogs, in a conference that has some of the fiercest fronts in College Football. Did I also mention that Price only played one season at Center, and that in my opinion, he's no Pat Elfein?
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations
