How was he a first round pick??

Price was a 4 year starter at OSU and played pretty well at both guard and center there, setting the career start record. He won the Rimington trophy and was a consensus all-American. 

He was considered 1 of 3 top center prospects in that draft, along with Ragnow and Daniels. Cincinnati was looking to upgrade from Russell Bodine and Price may well be better. He had the misfortune of a couple of terrible O-line coaches in Paul Alexander and Jim Turner. 

He won't be contending for a starting role but if you want an experienced backup, he's better than nothing.

Wild that he's been that useless as a Pro.  There were valid questions about his strength and anchor as a prospect...but it's crazy he hasn't translated at all, as even a backup IOL guy.  He seemed like a smart, capable C in college at a big program facing quality competition.  Guess he really was just insulated by more physically talented guys around him in college.

 

Anyway...have the Buckeyes produced any Centers in recent memory who weren't massively disappointing?  Feels like one of those things where you'd best just steer clear.
