The team must have had high hopes for Ogbuehi because they let Whitworth walk when it sounds like we could've easily retained him. Also not sure where your getting Dax is a better tackler than Bates. I assume your getting that from what his 60 snaps this season?
I hope he isn't a bust and he may very well be good. But the situations are similar and I hope we aren't making the same mistake of getting good solid production from a player in a position and thinking you can draft another guy and get equal play. It just doesn't always work out that way.
Think he was in the mid-teens if I remember correctly, still I always am in the Draft forum leading up to the Draft and I don't
remember anyone pushing for Og before we picked him. It was a surprise pick that we all just had to hope the FO knew what
they were doing and they obviously did not.
I trust these coaches and the FO now much more than I did back then.
In college Jessie's tackling was always his weakness and has been overall in the NFL. Played great Sunday night though and
made some great tackles. Dax Hill was known for sure tackling and that being his strength in college, opposite of Jessie.
I just don't find the situations that similar as I think Dax Hill could be better than Bates at least in the tackling department
and overall versatility. Never thought Og could be better than Whit.
