The Los Angeles Rams are young and don’t exactly have a lot of holes, making this NFL Draft one of relative luxury for a team on the cusp of competing for an NFC title.

One of the issues, though, would be finding a long-term solution at center. Especially with aging veteran John Sullivan hitting free agency.

Ohio State center Billy Price has seen his NFL Draft stock rise considerably in recent months, going from a third-round target all the way towards the tail end of Round 1. A strong showing at the NFL Scouting Combine could boost his stock even higher.

With Price under contract, the Rams would have both adequate protection for quarterback Jared Goff and an interior run-supporting presence for running back Todd Gurley.
