It was the cheap card at one position, but not the safe, logical, or practical card.  The offensive line was so terrible I'd argue the rest of the salary was wasted because they had no hope of being competitive with how bad the O line was.  Not just that year, but for the past three years and the jury is still out on this season.

You have to expect the player to improve and live up to his draft status at some point and again, if PA wasn't around, I doubt that A: Ogbuehi would even be drafted and B: they wouldn't have thrown their eggs into the Ogbuehi basket.

Not giving him the outright blame, but we all know how much pull he had and how much whining he did.
