Some were probably in that boat with Ogbuehi, but he was projected as a Top 10 pick before his ACL injury in his bowl game and Whit and Andre were coming up on the end of their contracts, so it made sense, especially when you consider their penchant for having their 1st round pick sit for a year under Marvin.  He just sucked.  They wound up with Price because they traded down to pick up Cordy Glenn and didn't address C in FA, instead going with the popular board opinion that they need to take a C in the 1st or 2nd.  Neither Price nor Glenn really panned out, either.  On the other hand, Levi Jones was a WTF pick but that talk all ended after a few games into his rookie year when he proved he was the real deal.  

Point being, it doesn't matter what your philosophy is if you wind up taking bad players.  Comparing Ross to Chase is no more fair than comparing Og to Sewell.
