Depends on who you are comparing him to.

He's had lower than 56 PFF rating each of the past 3 years...
2019 - 54.2
2018 - 50.6
2017 - 55.9

He did rate higher than Pratt and Evans, so compared to those two, yes.
Nick Vigil had a higher PFF rating than Ogletree in 2018 and 2019.
This was because Vigil was better than Ogletree in coverage (per their ratings).

Obviously though, you could look at INTs and PDs and they could imply a different story than what PFF reports.
Ogletree INTs for past 3 seasons - 7 (5 in 2018)
Ogletree PDs for past 3 seasons - 24

Vigil INTs for past 3 seasons - 2 (same number of INTs as Ogletree in 2017 and 2019)
Vigil PDs for past 3 seasons - 13

Bottom line though, if you're not happy with Vigil as a starter, you shouldn't be happy with Ogletree as a starter either. They really are about the same. The only difference is one was a first rounder while the other was a third.
