All 3 of the top Centers were worth a top 40 pick but they each had an issue.
James Daniels is probably going to take a year but he's young and has the highest ceiling. Billy Price can start right away, is technically sound, and mean but he's maxed out and has very short arms.
Before anyone reads this and freaks out, Price has 32" arms and Zack Martin, who posted very similar numbers (although not quite as strong or fast as Price) has 32 7/8" arms, and their wingspans (which takes chest width in to account) are withing 1." of each others.
Price is the first interior lineman we have drafted in recent years where I don't remember seeing any deficiencies in his "flexibility" or "not a natural bender". whereas Price has outstanding bend and hip flexibility.
I am so excited at the changes at LT, C, and may the best man win at RG (Westerman) and RT (No idea, but I like the idea of Ced, Fish, and Hart all fighting for it, because they probably know who ever wins the position will stay there.
