Given that we are a run heavy team, I'd look for an interior lineman who is a little better at the run blocking side of things. It's just a personal preference with me. If Ragnow goes to a team that throws the ball a lot, he'll be an all pro pretty quickly. He's the best pass blocking Center in the draft. I have Billy Price ranked just a bit ahead of Ragnow, simply because I believe he is more balanced when it comes to pass protecting and run blocking, but both guys as well as James Daniels, Mason Cole and possibly Will Clapp should be starting in the NFL within the next 3 years. This is one of the better Center classes I have seen.

Frank Ragnow is an absolute mauler in the run game and has been for some time. One of the best run blocking linemen in the entire draft. You actually have it backwards, he's a great pass protector but projects better in the run game than the pass.

In 2017 runs either side of Ragnow went for 5.5 yards. One of the highest marks in the nation I believe.

I can only judge what I saw. I was only able to catch two Razorbacks games this season against Alabama and Ole Miss., (the only two games available in my area.) The running game was shut down in both games. I know Ragnow did not allow a sack this year though. I have him going high in round 2. Cincinnati is in desperate need of a Center and I believe he will be their target, if Price is gone.
