Better than picking another player that is not BPA and hoping to have a trade partner for one of them in the 2nd IMHO.


Yeah, i doubt we take a Linebacker at 21 unless Edmunds falls which is highly unlikely. Center has been spoke about though
by the Spin but he is always wrong so that sucks. Ragnow is pretty much tied with Price in my eyes and after his Pro-Day and
knowing that he will be ready come OTA's ahead of Price i am almost leaning his way now.


That is interesting, usually i am not as big on OSU guys as i am not a Buckeye fan, but Price really stood out to me in a great
way when i watched them last year. Made some devastating run blocks opening up holes that went for long TD's, he has great
strength and movement and is a good pass protector. The pectoral injury must be the reason they were not talking about him.

Ragnow is also more experienced at C compared to Price and is a safer prospect. Bengals also attended Arkansas Pro Day so the interest is there.
Given the gaping hole at C, I think the Bengals might prefer Ragnow due to earlier availability on the field, well-roundedness against both the run and pass, and three years of experience at the position (in the SEC no less).
It actually wouldn't surprise me if the Bengals took him at 21 although I'd consider it a "slight" reach. But I'd rather reach a bit for a guy like Ragnow than gamble he won't be available at 46 if he's my favorite C prospect.
