Could We Pick A Tackle At 9?
#13
If we love Cam or Forrest I think it could happen.

We are picking in the top 10 because mainly Ogbuehi and our OL sucked and ruined our season. We then went on to lose our two best offensive linemen in free agency.

Elite pass rushers line up on both sides in the NFL now days. Our best pass rushing DE is a LDE going up against RTs. So I dont buy the Cam is a RT only because he cant handle the elite rushers.

My bottim line is I think Ogbuehi was a reach. He was the 3rd best LT on his college team. Jake Matthews has done OK but hasnt really reached the lofty expectations. The other one whose name escapes me was also top 10 pick flamed out in Jville and seattle just picked him up on a one year deal. Ogbuehi didnt get to play LT until they left. And when he did he wasnt anything special. Just because he has above average athleticism doesnt mean he is destined to be a great LT.

Im rooting for Ogbuehi to turn it around. He definitely needed some toughness. So hopefully training in MMA helped that out. But Im not holding my breath. Almost every year an OL goes top 10. We are in a spot this year where we very well could get to take the first one off the board.

OL is hands down our biggest weakness. If we take Cam or Forrest at 9 I will praise the pick.
