If that's the case, the team's Board will not change much with this news becoming official. Due to the importance of keeping Trevor upright, it wouldn't shock me if they consider moving up to take a tackle they may love. Problem is Wright, B. Jones and Johnson are all likely to go in the top 15-17 picks so the price would be steep. For that reason, I either take Harrison or trade up in round 2 to take the best remaining tackle (Mauch, D. Jones or Bergeron). Doing this and having Porter fall to 24 would be the best case scenario.

Of course they knew. I also agree. It should not change the big board. Long before this suspension was announced, we all knew due to his cap hit and his durability along with Taylor being lost to free agency that we had to have a swing tackle or offensive tackle in our plans. 

I don't think we'll be fortunate enough to land a top tier tackle being penciled in at 24. It's just the way it goes sometimes. We'll more than likely see Paris Johnson Jr., Broderick Jones and Darnell Washington well off the board by the time our pick is up to make. 

I think they're looking at edge rusher here or corner. As that was where almost all of their pre draft visits and interviews were dedicated to. We already had Walker Little planned to start this year. Whether it was LT or RT was up for debate because we don't know what they were going to do this summer competition wise. 

I think we can address the RT spot or swing tackle need tomorrow night or even early on Saturday. I am not sweating this too much at all. Between Pederson's play calling, our soft division and Lawrence's ability to read and release the ball fast. We can get by for a few weeks if needed. 

In the grand scheme of things though. Regardless of this suspension that was looming. Robinson was not in our long term plans.
