"More of than" Tavon was just a statement. Neither of them are every down backs. But here's basic stats of their final years in college.
Thomas-96 carries 594 yards 6.2YPC 8 TD
22 receptions 246 yds 11.1 avg 1 TD
Austin-72 carries 642 yards 8.9 yards 3 TD's
114 receptions 1289 yards 12 TD's.
Thomas didn't get anywhere near the touches Austin did either.
Austin was unreal at both in college but in the pro's I think Thomas is better suited as a change of pace RB. Because if Austin is in the BF it becomes obvious he's getting the ball or a hell of a decoy.
Having TWO 4.3 guys lined up is never a bad thing, IMO. And I'm not suggesting you draft him early. I think he's a 5-7 rd guy. But at that late, why the hell not?
There's a few big boys in the draft this year that can really pound the rock.

that's what I want, someone who can come in on short yardage and you know he will get 3 or 4 yards,
Jeremy Hill and Carlos Hyde would fit this offense perfectly imo. Trading down, grabbing Robinson, then picking up one of these guys with an extra 2nd/3rd rounder would help this Schotty's offense reach the next level.
