This is a bit of revisionist history. Allen Robinson wasn't really discussed on the board here much predraft outside of a few Penn State fans, Marqise Lee was the pick we were lauding at the time as the Biletnikoff winner.  We traded up for Allen Robinson so it's not like he fell into our laps yk. 

I agree on Yannick, our coaching staff was drooling over him and they sent practically the whole front office to his proday. I still believe Yannick was Caldwells best pick all things considered.

Arob was a giant draft darling. I don't remember how big he was on this board, but man everyone loved him on draft twitter. Marqise was a very bad pick even without hindsight. Very slight, not nearly as athletic as he should be for the size, and a long injury history that of course continued when he started getting hit by bigger/stronger/faster NFL defenders.
