Meh ... I hope not.

Frank is a nice player but isn't dominant enough inside the trenches at 27. I doubt he is selected on day 1.

Billy Price on the other hand ... he'll give you a solid performance every week and never misses games, loves football, the gym and has a high football IQ but more importantly, he's a BUCKEYE ;).

Can't hold the failures of his team against him; many had him graded not only the best center but best player in the SEC coming into this season...

Don't sleep, don't wink on Ragnow...

I’m not denying his talent, but he’s probably the 3rd best center in the draft behind Billy Price and James Daniels (Iowa).

I'm sorry, from what I've seen the past two seasons and what I consider the better opinions in scouting, Ragnow is the best center in the draft and second best interior offensive lineman behind Quenton Nelson...

Well, this makes me feel even better about getting out-maneuvered on Foster and having Ramczyk fall into our laps...

Wonder if he asked the arresting officers "Do you know who I am?"

Great to see your emphatic support for him... It tells me a lot! I certainly appreciate your opinions on these things. The center position is so hard to project in the draft because for some reason those guys get pushed to the mid-rounds despite their importance.

And I failed to made this point yet - I'm not going crazy the size of Buckeye's Price or Bulldog's Wynn; makes me question fit in our zone-blocking scheme...

While Wynn had a great Senior Bowl, I think he gets exposed and limited when he faces full-time, well-coached NFL competition as he had great coaching at UGA...

As for Price, he struggled when the Buckeye's faced better interior competition; what Price has going for him is his versatility and a need by power running teams...

Two guys I like for the Saints more than Wynn and Price or Clapp and Bozeman - but both of those guys would likely sit their first season, barring injury...

And this is a pretty deep draft of middle-round talent for all positions along the offensive line...

I could see the Saints taking as many as three offensive linemen to develop behind our terrific starters...
