"Billy Price is conspicuously absent. Anyone have insights as to why that might be?"
"So, 10 points behind Ragnow. I wonder if Pollack, Mervin, et al see it the same way. "
"So.... now that he's "healthy," you really can't wait until round 2 to take the guy. He's probably all but assured to go in the late 20's - late 30s."
"Yea I think so too. Bengals might be able to trade back from 21 and get him if they can, but I'm cool with him at 21."
"Well, i am sold at taking Ragnow at 21 now. From the SEC, longer arms than Price, bigger and nastier than Daniels. Smart."
"So this Tejan Koroma dude from BYU has some impressive scores from the past two years, he's in this draft class, yet we've not seen a single mention of him in any draft conversation."
"Either way this is who i want now, took awhile but is tops in my eyes now for sure."
"Yet, before it was official that Daniels was declaring, Price was the "hands down" top rated Center by all of the geeks that rate them."
"Yep, talking heads and i have to admit they got to me for awhile. No more, Ragnow was the best Center before his injury and now"
All of these comments are indicative of this list changing opinions, rather than reinforcing them.
In regard to the bolded comments. (those are the ones that I made)
I made the Koroma comment in an effort to draw attention to the value, or lack of, that the PFF list implies. I.e. calling it into question. Meaning, if Koroma was so good, why have we not heard a peep about him? As I went to look him up on NFL.com, and he wasn't even listed.
I made the comment about Price, because he is, and has been my favorite since the end of CFB season. After studying Ragnow and Daniels, I have Price and Ragnow both as the right fit for this team. Call them 1 and 1A. I have Daniels and Cole as lesser options, as I don't think that either of them will stand up to NFL 3-4 NTs without assistance from a Guard. (at least in their first couple years)
Personally, I think that all of them should be available in the 2nd round, just maybe not at the 46th pick.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations
