If only there were some way to project that Ced would struggle in the Pros...

His tape wasn't good.
His technique wasn't good.
He was hurt and couldn't work out fully.

but...

He was the third LT at TAMU in a row who got absurd unjust hype.
He was athletic (wildly overrated trait on the OL)
He had the size
Played in an offense that largely mitigated OL by design.

When you have a small scouting department or buy into college hype...this shit happens around the league.

I think what really shocked me was selecting TWO OTs in the same draft, not just one.
And then I go back to saying "what if" on selecting:
Bud Dupree or Malcom Brown instead of Ogbuehi at 21 (DL covered then, as many of us were clamoring for)
Fisher or Ogbuehi in Round 2 - keep the same because it did make sense to get one OT
Kwon Alexander instead of Dawson with 3rd comp pick
Stefon Diggs instead of Hardison (groom as a replacement in case MLJ and/or Sanu left like they do with other rookie selections)
Ugh it's frustrating, especially because many of us were high on Dupree, Brown, Alexander, and Diggs so we would have made those decisions if it were us and it wouldn't have just been a hindsight is 20/20 thing.
