Picking player a, b, or c, simply because some jaggov had them highly rated, and they are sitting two rounds later than their original projection, is simply not working. Sure, you can hit on some players that slip through the cracks... if you did the proper scouting and put in the time to know if they are genuinely a good fit for your team.
I'm curious as to what parallel universe that Fisher and Ogbuehi were the perfect fit for offensive tackle on the Cincinnati Bengals to warrant spending our top two picks on them, when there were a ton of players that could have benefitted the team immediately on the board?
I was smarting over the Ogbuehi/Fisher picks. I lost my damn mind over them on the old board. They are both pretty much the opposite of what we normally have at OT. You go from Willie Anderson to Andre Smith, two big hogs that got it done to a guy that looks like a power forward.
The things that's bothered me for years is their aversion to taking d-linemen early. They've coasted on the success they had with Geno, Dunlap and MJ for too long. They've had two bust second rounders in Hunt and Still and then nothing. It was a matter of time before this caught up to them. A great d-line can mask a lot of problems on defense.
