What was the Bills' trade offer for our #2?I was in the Watkins / Mathews camp.

That becomes a sticky situation because Saffold and Brown will be back. May just have to move him to the bench and draft a LT if that's the case. But with the perineal injuries of this team, Robinson will get many starts.
Not sure that Saffold is still in their long term starter plans, 28.
Nor probably should he be.
Just can't count on him to be there every Sunday.
He only seems to like him as a RT though.
I agree, we need to be patient with Robinson because he was raw coming in, but it is kind of frustrating, I expected more from him by now. I hope he can improve from below-average, because that's what he is. If he's not significantly better by next season though, we need to move on. @CoachO has mentioned that it's a chore to get him into the film room, and that's not something you want to hear about your #2 overall pick.
I wanted Bortles Mack or Matthews. I'd take anyone of them over GRob who I thought was risky.
Mack is a great player.
I was in the Watkins / Mathews camp.
i've watched lawrence taylors, derrick thomas' all the great 70's defenses, da bears 86, etc. aaron donald is something else altogether. i cant remember another DT getting into the backfield like he does. fisher can pick the D guys. just no good with the O guys. but if the 2 pick was bortles, then yes you have to get a cornerstone LT like a matthews to protect him.Mack is elite, but so is AD. No way would I take Mack over AD.
Would those two WRs look as good without Bortles?
Robinson is obviously a talented kid and is making great plays but WRs are at the mercy of their QB.
Bortles is a 2nd year QB on pace to throw 32 TDs to 19 Ints. Pretty impressive. Especially considering he was a raw QB that should have sat as a rookie. He's got Carson Palmer/Big Ben type potential.
Jags made a very smart decision taking him. Here's hoping we'll have a chance to grab a QB of our own.(and pair him with some talented weapons)
Yes. We drafted a raw LT so we could move him to OG before he's had 3 years worth of development and even 2 years worth of starts at LT. Robinson is 23 years old. Give him a chance to develop. It's not like the guy is getting embarrassed week after week. He's inconsistent. He gets called for holding too often because he's grabby (technical problem related to experience) and he tends to get beat a few times each game. But he's not out there getting embarrassed every down. He typically will not be heard from for most of the game and then over a 5 play period, get called for holding and give up a QB hit or two. And then be fine the rest of the game.
It's worth pointing out that despite all the frustrations with his mistakes and penalties, he's only given up 3.5 sacks in 11 starts this year. That's not bad at all for a NFL LT.(source: STATS LLC)
I didn't know enough last year to make educated mocks.....but I was in Camp Mathews with you due to pedigree.
So was I.I was in the Watkins / Mathews camp.
