I would be happy with a super dynamic offense for 5 years and then look for a replacement or a stop gap. Plus, it's hard to tell whose going to be on the team in 5 years. Higgins might be gone by then. Hell, Chase could be gone by then. Honestly, I really doubt that Robinson gets to us. He's too good of a player. If he does there's no reason IMO that we pass up a player like that.

I'm looking at the end game "ifs". If during the RBs rookie contract, you get a ring(s), then it's worth it. If at the end of the contract you haven't won a ring, it's been a waste and a missed opportunity to follow a model that actually has had results. 

It's a stupid roll of the dice and "hope", which i'm not really excited at all about. 

We needed shiny new toys a couple years ago at the expense of blocking but now that we have the toys...we don't need MOAR toys. We need really good guys to block up front so those toys can do their thing. 

I mentioned before, the HC/QB combos and how if they haven't won a championship within their first 5 years together, they don't win one. Not a single one. The Bengals are going into year 4 of the Zac/Joe combo, this year.
