NFL.com mock has Ogbuehi and Strong

Look at the people they had us leaving on the board. Gurley, Fisher, Flowers, Agholor, Collins. This is a classic case of "I don't care about the Panthers so I'll give them the 6th rated tackle and save the better guys for teams that will get clicks." Happens every year.

I personally frown upon players who have been seriously injured.

 

I remember being skepticle of Stew, and look how much he has spent on the bike.

 

I was also highly suspicous of Jeff Otah.

 

I know, I am not talent scout, expert, ect, just saying that is the way I have seen it.

Stewart only missed 2 games his first 4 years. He's very durable. He just had major ankle surgery that cost him 2 years.

He's gonna surprise people this year without D-Will in his way. He was a beast last year.

 

He's missed significant time the past 3 years with different injuries. I think people realize how good he is and can be in a workhorse role, it's just that people are (reasonably) skeptical that he'll play the whole year. I really hope he can because a full 16 games from him in a workhorse role behind our improved interior line could make our offense the best we've had since 2011. 1500+ yards and 10+ TDs would be completely reasonable projections in my opinion if he plays the full 16. Would take a lot of pressure off of our tackles too if other teams' defenses are worrying about the run more than the pass.

To be fair though, Ogbuehi might be Gettleman's favorite player. If somehow all those players (aside from Gurley and Flowers) end up  at 25, I see us taking Ogbuehi before him. He'ste best pass protector in the draft and the sacks he gave up tie in with the injury he had that prevented him from hitting the weight room

 

Without the ACL tear, he's atop 10 pick, Gettleman loves him, this isn't a steetch by any means and one of the times this isn't a "The media hates us" situation. 

 

 

All in all, this is a really good draft for us.

One thing that stuck in my mind was Gettleman's presser months ago right after the season ended he specifically mentioned Cedric Ogbuhei and said "boy, how tragic, he tears his ACL, feel so sorry for the kid." Something along those lines, shows he was on Gettleman's mind months ago
