Robinson may not have been able to start right away at LT, but he could have been dominant at RG and we all know Ogbuehi is not going to move to guard.  I also believe in the "Bama curse" of a lot of kids in their first year where they were just so beaten up that they either get injured or struggle early on....but I think he will still be a very good LT in the NFL.  Whatever reports we are hearing about him now sound a lot like the first rounder we drafted and has three years in the league!

I hear you about the QB with a fast release and RB, but I would say the outside speed or Ross will be an even bigger asset as it will back off safeties. 

Believe me, I am hoping for the best, but I am worried that even with a full camp, and even with all that time with Jay Glaser, Ced is still not getting it done at all.  Preseason will be a good indicator.

There's simply no way I take that trade.  Mixon is a Top 10-15 talent in any draft class.  Willis was widely seen as a late 1st, early 2nd DE in a stacked pass rusher class.  They had a 2nd round grade on Malone, who they took with the extra 4th they got for trading down in 2.  No way I trade those three for a 2nd round talent that got pushed up draft boards because of a horrible class.

What we know is that Robinson was working as the #2 LT in Jax until Albert retired.  They either didn't see the potential or need to move him to RG.  I think it's a huge stretch to say he could have come in and been an immediate high caliber starter in a position he never played before on a side he never played before as a rookie.  

As far as Cam and Og as LT's, why would you make that trade and sacrifice a RB, DE, and WR with starter potential for a LT that isn't any better than the one you have?  And Robinson will struggle even more trying to learn RG and LT at the NFL level at the same time.  If he's not an improvement, help other positions and improve the OL next year.
