I trust the opinion of those two guys more than I trust the opinion of anyone on this board or on the Bengals coaching staff. 

He needs a new voice, and a new coach. We missed out when Mike Munchak was looking for a job, that guy could coach this line up.

Well, all the evaluations of his play in college add up to what we are seeing right now. I won't argue with Willie and Munoz, but they're also one of the few that remain positive about the Bengals and their players. No one ever questioned the talent CO has, but right now, as stated, he lacks any sort of passion or technical skill. That's not just made up, but what is actual fact.

Quote:Weaknesses

Functional power and anchor are legitimate concerns. Technique flaws make pass protection harder than it has to be. Football leverage isn't as good as expected. Doesn't play with enough bend at impact. His punch in pass pro can be woefully mistimed and he plays with wide hands and some wasted motion in setup. Base tends to narrow when pass rush gets to his high side. Not a powerful tackle and won't generate much push as in-line blocker. Was one of the SEC leaders in sacks allowed in 2014. Tore his ACL in Aggies' bowl game, and won't be able to go through a full pre-draft workout for NFL personnel men.

Quote:Bottom Line

NFL evaluators are very worried about Ogbuehi's core strength and ability to anchor in pass protection, but some of his anchor issues could be improved with technique work -- especially where his hands are concerned. He should be a plus run blocker, especially on stretch plays, but needs to add strength and work on technique if he is to reach his play potential. Ogbuehi's bowl-game injury could hurt his draft standing, but his traits and potential might be able to keep him in the first round.
