Honestly I think it's a fail safe measure to protect themselves (if not Trevor) in case Trent Williams signs elsewhere.

But how is that protecting us? If we miss out on Williams, we could find another LT in the draft. At this point I would trust a 7th round OT over either one of our OT's. We know what they are and they suck! I'd rather take a risk on new guys, any guys, as long as they aren't what we have now. At least that would show you are at least trying to get better. This is just like settling for below average play. We had one of the lowest ranked OT tandems in the NFL. This is not protecting us in any way, shape or form.

I'd rather put a 7th round OT in the starting spot than to bring Robinson back. The 7th rounder is an unknown. Robinson isn't. We know Robinson sucks and the fact that Jawaan Taylor sucks even worse, makes the OT position even more dire.

If we sign Trent Williams, we could remove the tag (if Cam hasn't signed it), or move Cam ro RT.

As horrible as Taylor is, do you really see this happening? Do you realistically see them moving Robinson to RT and benching Taylor? I don't.
