He didn't tear anything, sprain anything, or break anything. Spurs, which are no longer there. None issue.....
Thank you once again Sled, this needs to be said about Glenn, he is anything but risky....
All draft picks are, even Price. Have very high hopes for Price of course but Cordy Glenn has dominated in the NFL.

What Center (if any) would you have taken at 46 or later?
You just might of caught ole SHRacer there Ocho.

PFF Had Ragnow the 2nd best offensive lineman in the draft behind (only) Quinton Nelson.
Arkansas C Frank Ragnow starts the 2017 season as the only PFF Day 1 projected center. Based on his performance in 2016 and that projection, he currently sits as the top center of the 2018 class.
•In 2016, Ragnow graded very well earning the top overall grade among all FBS centers at 89.4, which was the third highest grade among centers in the PFF College Era (2014-present).
•Ragnow excels most in the run game as his run-block grade 88.9 ranked No. 1 among all FBS centers in 2016. Ragnow’s 92.9 percent run-block success ranked No. 2 among returning draft-eligible centers.
•When it comes to his run-blocking, Ragnow was consistently good. Not only did he have the lowest percentage of negatively-graded blocks in the run game of the draft class but he also had the second-highest percentage of positively graded blocks.
•Ragnow wasn’t elite in pass-protection but still performed at an above average level for his position. His 2016 pass blocking efficiency of 98.0 ranked No. 21 among returning draft-eligible centers. He allowed just 12 total pressures on 487 pass block snaps.
Billy Price was rated 5th at his position and 69th overall.
Price ranked 27th among draft-eligible centers in pass-blocking efficiency in 2017 (97.6).
•He ranked sixth among draft-eligible centers in run-blocking success percentage in 2017 (92.0).
They are not idiots for not trading up here at all and i just of might been the biggest Ragnow guy of all on this board.
Great stats and you are right about Ragnow but Price has a higher upside than Ragnow cause of his nasty run blocking.
Also, i might add that PFF is not the end all dude. They have really went down in the last few years.
Don't trust'em.
