Our drafting has sucked lately

He was a great prospect on paper for all of the reasons you mentioned. Ultimately he didn't work out, but it is such a lazy and misinformed opinion to say that he had nothing but speed. You don't get drafted in the top 10 purely on speed unless you're Darrius Heyward-Bey.

The fallacy is people think that if a guy is a bust that there is some way to spot it in college. In a lot of cases there wasn't.

Now a guy like Ogbuehi was coming off of a major knee injury and he gave up a lot of sacks in college. So in some rare cases, there are a lot of red flags for a prospect. ie drafting on Projection over Production. He looks like an athletic lineman. In 2014, he was one of the leaders in sacks allowed in the SEC.
