What did I want in the second round?  To try and trade up to the back end of Rd 1 and draft Cam Robinson.  

I hope I am wrong, but I think they have placed all their chips on one number (70) and it may crap.  The backup plan of Fisher to LT and Andre Smith to RT doesn't sound very solid, either, as Smith can't seem to stay healthy....at least not through a 16 game season.

I am hoping and praying that Ced sticks to the technique work and uses his (supposedly) outstanding athleticism and gets the job done, but as many have heard the old saying:  "Hope is not a strategy".  

I say with all due respect, drafting any OT in round 2 or later in the 2017 draft was not a pick for 2017, but for the future as in 2018 or beyond. Cam Robinson is struggling mightily in Jags camp and likely will be bad in 2017 as well.

A healthy Mixon could be Zeke Elliott type result for us in 2017 making us a much better team in 2017, a Cam Robinson is a future pick and not ready to be a good tackle just yet in the NFL in my humble opinion
