Atleast these 2 can be replaced. Doubt the scouting department gets any bigger in the Offseason.
In the end you have to coach these players up. You get what you get and talent is in the eye of the beholder.
Og was a first rounder, Fisher a 2nd rounder, Bodine was picked by PA etc
MLJ was a 5th rounder but Urban coached him into a decent WR. He might be able to do the same with Core or Malone.
Lafell is what he is, a solid experienced vet who cannot get much seperation.
Coaching isn't some magic cure all. There's no fairy dust to sprinkle on them.
Ogbuehi was never going to be good. He just wasn't. He wasn't actually good at TAMU.
Fisher was always a project. They screwed up jerking him around between LT, RT, TE and FB.
Bodine was never going to be more than what he is.
MLJ was always talented though. That's the difference. Round is largely irrelevant. The NFL clearly has issues with identifying talent. They always have. It's a nepotism driven league so you don't actually get the best of the best. With a few exceptions. Watch MLJ in college. It's all there. Urban might have helped refine it and hone it, but the talent was there.
what talent was there for Ogbuehi? Bodine?
They just haven't drafted good football players on that side of the ball.
