For the casual 'Hey they scored a home-run!' masses? No, it isn't a sexy pick, but who cares about sexy? I care about a good pick that makes the team better. Price should do that.
I'm over the moon that they drafted a Center. It was the team's biggest on-field weakness, and they addressed it before day three (which is what they usually would have done). There's a lot to like about all three of the draft's top centers, so I understand if people preferred Ragnow or Daniels instead. To me they all should be good NFL caliber centers, something we haven't seen on the Bengals in a while. I think Price will be a fine player for us, and he sure seems to be happy about being with the Bengals (which is always a plus). As long as they got one of the three I would have been happy. They did, so I'm in the unusual spot of being immediately content with our first round pick.
