No chance, although I love him and would even argue that he's one of the 2-3 most likely guys to make the HOF out of this class. He just won't go as high as that projection would imply because he's most likely a OG.

He's a very similar prospect to Zack Martin, probably not quite as good of a tackle but not far off.

Yeah no way Skor makes it to us. But if he did it would be beyond a no brainer.

This has a big influence this year. Young and Levis aced it, Stroud bombed.

It's definitely interesting. Although I find it a little funny that Purdy is now being propped like a Brady like steal. He wasn't that good. He rode a highly scripted offense and elite defense for a small portion of games. But now he is why the cognitive test is awesome.

The other examples they give in the article about the test carry much more weight. But yet everyone leads with Purdy like he is a proven thing. Nothing against the test because the other case examples like Brees are great.

He did basically what Brady did. Lookit, I am not annointing him, okay? But if our Mr. Irrelevant pick did that, we would all be losing our minds.

Probably. It's sort of like Dak's rookie year is comparable to what Hurts did last year. That's all it took for the Eagles to lock him up to a mega deal. Sometimes QBs are a flash in the pan, sometimes they are Tom Brady. Purdy is just the flavor of the month this offseason.

On Bijan, who knows if there's anything legit behind this but it's that time of year so whatever, starts at 5:10.

I may eat these words, but I just don't see Robinson being that great. The Deebo comparison? He doesn't play nearly as hard and isn't nearly as physical as Deebo. (Very very few are.) Saquan Barkley? To me, Barkley was far more impressive a back on the field in college.

And trading from 26 to 14 would cost a fortune. No way do we do that. That has to be McShay just making the lazy Texas/Jerry Loves Making a Splash association.

The Deebo comparison is hilarious.

Yea, if he's there at 26, sign me up. I'd probably even be fine moving up to like 22 or something if we really had our hearts set on him, but no chance I'm giving up our 2nd and more to move up for him.

I also don't think he's as good a prospect as Elliott, Barkley or McCaffrey were.

So we’re trading up with Green Bay, Washington, or Pittsburgh to jump Detroit and grab Robinson? 10 slots in a deep draft? That’s about a 100 point leap. Prolly take our second round pick to do it, and a low second in this draft is more like a high second in most drafts.

That’s two really good and cheap starters for Robinson.

Of course he might just fall to us anyway. This guy Brendan Donahue has been fairly accurate, apparently. Of course he also has Jalen Carter falling to Philadelphia :angry

I think there's at least like a 30% or so chance he just straight up falls to us.

I don't think Detroit is a huge threat to take him given that they just signed David Montgomery, the Chargers are a bit of a threat with Moore given his history here, maybe someone like the Bengals/Bills/Eagles try to trade up in front of us, but unless the Eagles take him at 10 I think he's going to fall to at least about 20.

Maybe some random team like Tampa or the Skins get enthralled with the value of a top 5ish prospect dropping to them but on the surface it's very unlikely that teams like that would take him over much bigger needs with quality prospects available at positions like OT and CB.

So long story short, I think it's very possible that he drops into the late teens/20's, and from there it's only a handful of picks to us, so there's a very real probability.
