Rd | Pick | Player | Pos. | Status |

2 | 54 | Jessie Bates | S | Signed |
3 | 77 | Sam Hubbard | DE | |

Price, 22, was taken with the No. 21 overall pick in this year’s NFL Draft by the Bengals. According to OverTheCap.com, he receives an $11,712,492 contract that includes a $6,598,176 signing bonus.
The contract includes a fifth-year option for the Bengals to pick up in 2021. It’s worth mentioning that the fifth-year option is only guaranteed for injury and won’t prevent the two parties from working on a long-term extension.
During his four-year college career at Ohio State, Price earned Big Ten Offensive Lineman of the Year honors in 2017, won the 2017 Rimington Trophy, was a unanimous All-American last year, a second-team All-American in 2016, a two-time first-team All-Big Ten honoree, and was third-team All-Big Ten in 2015.
