10. Billy Price, Ohio State – Center

Price is one of the rare offensive line prospects who can claim starting experience at all three interior positions. Offensive line coaches will love that, as well as the fact that he plays every snap like he’s out for blood. Price is as aggressive an offensive line prospect as there is in this draft.

Certainly NOT the 10th ranked Center in the draft, and I don't see anything about lunging and falling on his arse. They had Ragnow ranked as #2 OL, which seems a little extreme, and a LSU Center ranked ONE SLOT above Price. I personally am happy with "as aggressive OL prospect as there is in the draft". I guess my take is give these guys a chance, no one here knows much about anyone save the OSU draftees, and most OSU fans seem to like both of them. Nobody on here is an expert employed by the NFL that I know of, I myself thought they should have drafted a couple more OL prospects, but I too, am a Monday morning armchair coach which translates to not knowing all that much in reality. So, I'm going to give the new OL coaches a chance, and see what they can do, the last one had definitely worn out his welcome,IMHO. As for coaches not making a huge difference: see also, RAMS, Los Angeles 2017, among others.  The right coach can and will make a difference, let's hope we have the right one! Whodey!

The PFF rankings are laughable, and no one I know relies on them. Will Clapp the #9 ranked interior lineman (and this list is not Centers it is interior linemen)? As in 7th Round pick Will Clapp? It lists Austin Corbertt as a Center which I'm sure would amuse him as he played LT in college and the Stains drafted him to play LT. And it goes on from there. 

Whether this guy likes it or not Price even with the pec injury had a consensus first round grade and was considered the best Center in what is considered the best Center class in many years.
