Ogbuehi was never going to be good. He just wasn't. He wasn't actually good at TAMU.
Fisher was always a project. They screwed up jerking him around between LT, RT, TE and FB.
Bodine was never going to be more than what he is.
MLJ was always talented though. That's the difference. Round is largely irrelevant. The NFL clearly has issues with identifying talent. They always have. It's a nepotism driven league so you don't actually get the best of the best. With a few exceptions. Watch MLJ in college. It's all there. Urban might have helped refine it and hone it, but the talent was there.
what talent was there for Ogbuehi? Bodine?
They just haven't drafted good football players on that side of the ball.
Tell that to Belicheck and Scarnechia.
Og is extremely athletic, one of the most athletic Tackles in college and now in the NFL, he just has poor technique and
just doesn't have the want in him. If he never wants to be great, he is hopeless. Bodine was strong in the weight room
and i guess that is all PA thought matters in a Center.
Fisher has talent and i agree, the coaches screwed him up just like they didn't coach up Og or Bodine.
I also agree that MLJ had talent in college but no it wasn't all there, he was raw on his routes just like Core was but
MLJ was much better at going up for the ball. Malone as i said earlier needs to be in this conversation, cause he goes
up for the ball similar to MLJ and is just as fast.
Lafell needs to play better period if he wants to keep that #2 spot. Problem is, he isn't going to get any faster.
