Ogbuehi was praised for his outstanding athleticism coming out of Texas A&M but criticized for his lack of strength and anchor...both of which are needed to really succeed at RT.
He might be able to handle LT better, especially if the rushers are more speed oriented rather than powerful.
I agree that LT requires differeent skills than RT, but right now Ogbuehi is not showing any skills at all.
I am not ready to write him off until he has at least one full healthy training camp, but his problem is more than just lack of power. He looks lost and confused too much.
However you can't criticize the Bengals for drafting him in the first round. Pretty much everyone everywhere agreed he was a first round talent. Hopefully he is just suffering from lack of training and experience.
