Ogbuehi was a project pick in the first round in that he had strength issues in college and was coming in injured. His injuries never have allowed him to resolve that. It cost us a playoff appearance by thinking playing time would resolve the problem.

The team has a number of holes and to draft combine warriors based on size, speed and "unrealized potential" would be a mistake.

We need guys who have a history of being highly productive in college with good technique for their position. Only if that part is there do we start to look at the lessor measurables.

A receive who has bad hands or can't run a route if it were taped out on the ground is no good for this team no matter how fast he might run. Just an example, not saying anything about anyone specific in this draft.

I also agree. No projects in the first 3 rounds. The only exception is MAYBE Tanoh Kpassagnon, but not until the 3rd round.
