I'm Not Seeing Any Great Left Tackles

It's better to try and fix Ogbuehi's technique and lower body strength right now. Give him a full offseason and hopefully he will get better.
Remember. Andre Smith had a terrible first season. It takes time with players like this. I know we all would like a better tackle, but we have what we have for another year.

Our biggest problem has been we have drafted players that haven't stepped up. Outside of Eifert, Kirkpatrick, Gio, and Zeitler, who was the last player we drafted that made an impact on this team?


Hmm, have a few issues with your plan Wolf.  Andre Smith's problem was that he had too much mass (read, fat) to be agile enough to play LT in the NFL.  Ogbuehi is the exact opposite, dude does not have enough of the natural lower body mass to excel at the pro level.  He is a perfect example of when I said CFB is putting large "athletes" into the position, and getting by with it.

Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations
