This may sound crazy. But a good way to improve the OL is to draft the best one in the class. Which is a possibility at #9. 

Paying the oldest T in the league big money is a good idea. Paying a guard big money is a good idea. But drafting the best OL available is for some reason a bad idea...

Because Robinson is the best T in a poor T class and not worth the #9 pick.  He would be an early 2nd in a decent class. 

Also, people are not willing to write off a 1st and 2nd round T who have had trouble adapting to the NFLto draft another T at 9 who could very well encounter similar struggles.
