Anyone been keeping up with Cedric Ogbuehi?

If not, it's back to the drawing board in next year's draft.

I don't even pay attention to the off season hype anymore.

Its effect on me wore off as soon as they tried convincing me that Binns was Larry Fitzgerald and Jake Kumerow was the next great big man receiver.

Now, I just assume everything said during the off season is complete bullshit fluff and, if someone actually lives up to the hype they are getting, I'll be pleasantly surprised.

That hasn't happened since Burfict, however.

1. Darqueze Dennard being the best rookie corner Lewis has ever seen.
2. Margus Hunt is learning the ins and outs of the position
3. Core looks fantastic in camp.
4. Orson Charles at FB is the best of both worlds; blocking and receiving.

It's just every single thing turns out to be patently false or extremely exaggerated.

Leading up to the 2009 season is where the fluff pieces really took off. I remember Hobson writing about Matt Sherry as a reason we didn't need to take a TE in the draft. We wound up taking Chase Coffman in the 3rd. We got an article about Corey Lynch being a major asset to the secondary. He lost a came battle against an undrafted rookie. Since then, I take these articles more as humor.
