Yes, but I thought I was clear that I don't want to keep him. I understand you have to pay Robinson a lot to keep him but my point is I don't think he's worth it. Find a new good LT if you don't like Walker Little. Robinson isn't the answer and if he's the best available LT on the market then I'd rather give Little the chance to be the starter. 

Also, I see that some of this isn't really about the LT position but about Taylor. I agree Taylor needs to go. I strongly believe we should trade down if we don't like the pass rushers and then maybe draft Evan Neal if possible. That would be better value. The advantage of having the number one pick is quite obvious though. We don't have to care what others think. I'd rather overpay for a RT than having Taylor for one more season. If Neal is the answer then so be it. I will say that I don't really know that much about the top draft prospects so this is theoretical only.

Yeah, we like Little we want Cam to replace Jawaan. Using the #1 overall pick just to replace Cam just doesn't make sense to me. We don't need to create a hole just to fill it with our most elite asset.

Overpaying Cam by little bit for one season on the franchise tag while we develop the RT of the future that we draft in round 3 or so seems like the most wise option.
