FIFY.

There are worries that even when healthy, Ogbuehi might not become a premier LT. He never showed to be an elite LT while at Texas A&M in the time he was given (not much time).
However, at worst, when healthy, Ogbuehi should be a premier RT and replace Andre Smith.

The interesting thing with Jaylon Smith is he showed a clear elite level of play before injury but the injury was extremely severe. He should definitely be available at 24 now, but how far will he fall and when is he worth the risk?

Personally, I'd be worried about the pick but hopeful if it's within the first two rounds. If it's third to fourth, I'd think it could be a decent pick but there's still worry. If fifth or later, well worth the risk.
