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...

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?"

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...

What's amazing about PFF's own stat is how lowly they graded our offensive linemen individually...

I keep pounding the table for an O-lineman in the first round. However, I could see us drafting several mid round interior lineman and letting them battle it out in training camp for the sixth man. I don't believe that we will be able to afford Kelemete now that he's shown he's a starter in this league.

And without a second round draft pick we have too many positions of need to invest our only early round pick in what is already a good line. Although we don't have as many as needs like recent history did.
