Greg Robinson Declares For 2014 Draft

[max]

Auburn tackle Greg Robinson announced he will enter the 2014 draft. Will be a shock if he's not a top 15 pick.

Again, I think the addition of another quality OT hurts our chances for a trade down but increases our chances of drafting a good one.

Alan - I get where you are going with this but what if Bortles puts up combine / Pro Day performances that has a QB needy team just "have to have him"? All we need is one to be willing to overpay.

I think you're right about that BigRam but there are two issues here. There are a bunch of teams that need a QB but there is another group of teams who desperately need a LT. His decision doesn't effect the first group but I think it has a big effect on the second group. Not for the better I would think.

Hey, I heard that! :razz:

I prefer the term curmudgeon.

But, for my liking at least, the QB needy teams are right in the wheelhouse of where I'd hope we'd be drafting. I hope we don't trade down too far. I also think QBs fetch a better asking price.

In another post you had suggested the possibility of 2 trade downs. That would be best case scenario, IMO as well. We trade with CLE to get to 4 so they get their choice of QB by leapfrogging JAX then we swap with ATL to 6 so then can prevent OAK from taking Clowney, all the while stockpiling early 2nd round picks. We could, theoretically at least pick 1-6 then 2-4 (CLE), 2-10(ours) and 2-12 (ATL). That would be 5 picks in the first 44!

Love it!

Yep, that was my dream too.

As for the first part though, I always like to keep all options open.

Don't ask me how I did that. It was pure blind luck.

 

[Alan]

We know better max. You're always coming up with good stuff like that and it's no accident.
