Having a couple of duds like Cam Robinson and Jawaan Taylor starting at OT's when you've just invested the #1 overall pick on a franchise QB is even more unwise. I'd rather take the risk of a overpaying for a 32 year old franchise LT, any day of the week.

I think most people would. The problem with your plan is that when you have neither Robinson nor Trent you end up worse off than you are by just tagging Cam. We really do get that you hate the guy, but most rational people don't think it's a great idea to go into the offseason without a guy who can start next year already on the roster. Yeah, you think any can of lima beans is better than Robinson, but we all know that it could very easily be much worse than him, even with a shiny new high draft pick on the roster come April.
