We gotta go LT or D-Line with the #21. Robinson is not good (neither is Taylor) and he is an UFA. Let him walk and draft a more dependable LT to protect Lawrence's blindside.

Robinson is an average LT. For years, we have let average players walk, and they wind up starting for teams that are a lot better than we are. I'm kind of tired of that. We suck. We need to keep the average players. I don't want to unnecessarily create another hole on the team where we have to roll the dice and hope we got someone better.

I think the concern here is more if you keep him, does that prevent you from signing someone better? I agree that if we cannot bring in an FA tackle that is better than him, sure, make an offer to keep him as the stopgap/depth, but I am still looking to improve the position.

He's not a premium tackle, but he's not a bum, either. I kind of think he'd be better at RT, which would allow Taylor to move inside, and that may be win-win-win if we get a stalwart LT either in the darft or FA.

I've seen him try to juke out a player but couldnt or try to reverse course thinking he can outrun the defense but cant and loses yardage. I don't think his raw athletic ability is as elite as he thinks.

However saying all that, I just pulled up the dudes stats and he has nearly 1000 yards receiving and 10 TDs. So clearly he has been doing something right this year. Maybe I need to watch more. Or maybe he is better when he quits trying to make the hero play and instead just takes what the defense gives him. From what I've seen I wouldnt consider him a first or second day pick. 4th round or later, but again perhaps I need to watch more.

I actually think our WR core isn't half bad. Chark would be much better would a guy who could throw it down the field. Cole showed some life again this year. Collin Johnson looks like he has some game. Shenault obviously can be a weapon. All we really lack is elite deep speed.

Like you, I haven't watched much of UF, but how much of his success is due to D paying attention to Pitts instead? Is he legitimately beating guys, or are they just distracted by the bigger receiving threat?
