He was a late-first round/second round prospect.

46 Cincinnati Bengals: Billy Price, C/G, Ohio State 

Another center!? The Bengals could use Billy Price at guard, which might actually be a more natural position for him. Either way, Cincinnati needs multiple upgrades to the offensive line.

37. Indianapolis Colts (from NYJ)

Billy Price, G/C, Ohio State. Price injured his pec at the combine and had surgery to repair it, but he should be fine for the start of the season. He should immediately plug into a guard slot for Indy.

81. Dallas Cowboys: Billy Price, Ohio State, OG/C

After adding a wide receiver and safety, the Dallas Cowboys address their left guard spot. They go for Ohio State’s Billy Price, who should be gone before this, except for suffering a partially torn pectoral muscle during the bench press drill. So many teams panic about an injury, but Dallas takes a shot and gets a guy that can start at guard and serve as the reserve center.

Despite not participating in the drills, Price was lauded as a "really clean football player" who can play "at all three interior line positions."

Price has starting experience at both guard and center, and that versatility will only help his stock. I don't see him lasting beyond the second round of the draft.

30. Minnesota Vikings: OL Billy Price, Ohio State
It’s not easy to find many holes on the talent-rich Vikings roster, but after veteran lineman Joe Berger announced his retirement last month, the interior offensive line moved up toward the top of the list of needs. Price would be a nice fit in Minnesota: He’s versatile, tough, and athletic—and assuming the pectoral injury he suffered at the combine isn’t too serious, he could compete for a starter’s job at either guard spot while providing depth at center behind Pat Elflein.

He was projected 1/2 Center off the board.. at 21st pick.. it was a spot most saw him going .. Bengals picked him as 2nd Center.

He was totally not a reach at 21.. and we needed a center.. it just did not work out
