Quote:What the hell are you going on about? Taking a RT at No. 12 is completely reasonable. The tacks drafted Jack Conklin to play RT and he's already a first team all PRO after being selected 8th overall last year. Taylor Decker also started at RT for the Lions and he went 16th overall last year.


Taking Robinson at No. 12 is plenty reasonable and he's easily an upgrade over Parnell who was a huge weak link last year between the holding calls and false starts. He also whiffed a bunch. We also just decided NOT to pick-up Beachum's option. So there could be even more to this than originally thought.


And how the hell do you come up with guys being "busts" already before they set foot on an NFL field? Robinson's helped pave the way for monster running games in Alabama. Walker has been a freak off the edge in the passing and running game. Both of those guys are highly touted and respected coming out of college.

Ok I agree with your argument about taking a rt at 12 isn't ridiculous but in this draft it kind of is especially if you're suggesting Robinson. He's not great in pass protection but he is a mauler in the run game which is something we could use but not when he's a liability in the passing game. I like ramczyk and bolles a lot more than Robinson I'd even prefer taking feeney and lamp above him. And walker is an undersized DT who can't beat a tackle around the corner. He has a nice swim move but most of the pressure he creates is inside where he'll be outmatched in the nfl. Evan engram handled him in the ole miss game and he's an undersized TE. These two guys are overhyped bc of the programs they played for which is why I called them "busts" bc if you're taking these guys at 12 and 33 I feel like they're not going to play up to that value.
