I don't know if Robinson can play RT but you could probably get away with plugging his [BLEEP] in at Guard and then drafting another RT.

Just can't get out of that contract yet with Robinson. [BLEEP] happens. I tried being reasonable with Baalke's thinking around that time. It's fair. I don't think he panicked. I think he did his homework and if he felt one of those lineman prospects was good enough to start right away he would have probably selected one of them over Travon Walker. 

I don't know how Ekwonu, Neal & Cross faired over a full season. But, they were on decent teams for sure. Carolina was decent in spite of shaky QB play and a midseason coaching change. The Giants made a nice little run and overachieved just like we did. Seattle as well. 

Those three guys must have played a role in all of that.

Cross is going to be very very good. The Seahawks in general absolutely nailed their draft. Cross, Woolen, Walker and Lucas are all going to be starters for a long time.
