Saints position outlook: Offensive line should remain a strength

Billy Price, C/G, Ohio State
Height: 6-4. Weight: 315

How can we pass on this guy if he’s still there @ 27? He can play all three interior positions.

Also, Max Unger will be 32 in April and only has two years left on his contract.

You don't pass on a guy like this at 27. We land him & we will have one of if not the best O-Line in the league for many years. This would only help an already good running game & bring along whatever QB succeeds Brees.

Plus it'll continue populating our Ohio State South Branch.

Ragnow looks better, and this is a pretty deep draft; should Taven Bryan fall, I'd rather keep improving that defensive front seven right now...

Quenton Nelson and Frank Ragnow are the only offensive linemen I want in the first round, you can stand pat and pull some great O-linemen in later rounds

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...

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.
