OT Cedric Ogbuehi, Texas A&M -- Of all the top-shelf tackles in this year's upcoming draft class, nobody has more to prove than Ogbuehi. He's had to wait for both Luke Joeckel and Jake Matthews to move on for his chance to play LT (he played RG and RT before). As of now, there's not enough tape on Ogbuehi at LT to be definitive, but what we do know: Ogbuehi is a b-e-a-utiful talent on the left edge, showing peerless lateral agility and is somehow even better when getting to the next level.He gets off the ball so damn quickly, he's virtually impossible to beat around the edge (his kickslide's a bit choppy -- hard to complain considering how fast he gets out there). The biggest complaint coming into this season was that he lacks a mean streak and more of a finesse tackle. I think that's fair, but it matters less and less in today's NFL that craves more athleticism at tackle. Ogbuehi looks as promising as it gets, offers positional flexibility, and will surely destroy at the Combine with his long arms and great speed. If John Dorsey was in the market for a LT, he'd be on the shortlist.

Edit (11/18): How much do you like your coaching staff? Because I've watched Ogbuehi all year and I see a guy who has every tool you need, but he's struggled massively with those tools. It'll be interesting how he times at the Combine, and I still believe he's in the 1st round conversation as some team like the Chiefs believes they can turn him into a quality tackle with LT upside. I still think he could be in the conversation for the Chiefs.
