Duke Robinson OG OU

[KillerKat]

He was projected 2nd or 3rd round and is one of the best guards, if not THE best guard available, and we got him in the 5th!

[Jackofalltrades]

He'll start pretty soon. I wanted this guy in the second or third- he's an absolute steal here in the 5th. With him paired on the right with Otah we'll have one of the strongest right sides in the NFL. Very, very good pick.

[posthumecaver]

I guess, I can undertand why he dropped until 5th round...

In todays NFL teams are looking for position flexiblity, I am sorry but it looks this guy can only play OG in NFL....

If he would be a starter that would be perfect, but now we don't a backup that can play OT/OG combination....

I think Bernadeau can play OG/C but I am not sure on that also....

If he can replace Vincent this year it is perfect but I am not sure FO would do that....and that is actually bad news for Schwartz.....

I think we could sign Bridges again. He's still on the market im pretty sure.

Schwartz can play OT/OG and currently is our primary backup RT.

A lot of people think he's capable of playing RT, so there is some position flexibility and I really think he'll be out starting RG in the relative near future.

Nice....we can fill the rest of the OL depth through FA. :yesnod:

To hell with that idea. Vincent was awsome last year. I hope Robinson never sees the field in a regular season game this season, unless it's in the 4th quarter of a blow out win.

This guy is a brawler for sure, but he needs at least a year to add enough strength to be a starter. I like his footwork and all the tools are there, but he needs to get stronger in order to generate more push. In a few years, the combination of Otah and Robinson on the right side is going to be pretty darn easy to run behind.

But I wanted him in second round dammit!! As soon as Duke lets a lineman get by him, KillerKat will be the first to say "F U Jake for taking the sack!"

He worth it in the 5th though.

I really don't see it taking a few years, I think he has a legit start and passing Vincent this year, particularly given their respective ages and injury histories.

[saladdodger]

He might have fallen b/c of a couple of team suspensions due to disciplinary reasons on 2008. Scouts Inc. give him a below average grade for "Character". Very un-Fox/Hurney like, but a great value pick.

Even on a "running team", pass blocking is too important. He will have to be developed first. Every year it seems a run-blocking gaurd that everyone wants drops to 4th or 5th round. It's not worth the risk in the 2nd round round if they are too lazy to develop pass protection skills.

[SorthNarolina]

his off the field issues like motivation and character are scary, but the fact that he fell to the 5th should be a wake up call that the NFL takes those things seriously

I don't want to take anything from vincent but I bet he could beat him out by the start of the season

I really hope his adittude problems don't backfire on us, but that's why we drafted him in the 5th and not the 3rd
