Indeed. It's been mentioned multiple times that we were going to take Fisher of Ced wasn't there.
I was leery of both players. Fisher, because of the abuse he took at the hands of the Ohio State defense in the 2015 title game. Ogbuehi, b/c of his injury and his slight-looking build for an o-lineman. There was a lot of hype coming out of A&M for linemen at the time, but the majority of those guys were shitbags in the NFL. Matthews is decent, I suppose, but Joeckel was a bust of epic proportions. Ogbuehi was the worst of the group, obviously.
Neither of these guys was any semblance of a Cincinnati Bengals offensive tackle. Think about it. We always drafted big, heavy dudes with good feet and an ability to run block. Suddenly in 2015, they picked these lightweight basketball player looking dudes and things went sideways. It was a shit idea and still is.
