What if our depth at NT was different around draft, believe they thought he'd be able to go. Plus Purcell continues to improve, Dial is solid and Dorsey sounds like he's making his way back. Only a two down position,were fine though I get Billings could be that great NT space hog. Though most likely, wouldn't have been this year so we'll see.
I'll give anyone a chance, especially if they're going to improve the team. But what I read about Robinson is that he's physically weak and he hasn't played much at all. He's extremely raw. You don't take a chance on a kid who got in trouble (allegedly) , is incredibly raw, and inexperienced in the 4th round USUALLY.
This screams Baalke pick=raw and a high bust factor. It makes me mad that Billings, who could help our team this year despite being only a two down player, was still on the board. He is "more proven" and could have made an impact this year.
Meant our NT depth was looked at differently around draft cause I don't think they thought Ian would be out for he year. Like I said doe, even without Ian we still have Dorsey(I know,coming back from injury),Purcell/Dial who those two alone IMO can get the job done.
I understand doe, were deep at CB so why take a risk on Robinson when we coulda went more safe with Billings who can turn out to be baby Ted Washington.
I personally, like the risk... Can't say it enough and I'm sorry if I'm busting your balls, time will tell. It's true doe! This season will be one of the biggest "show me,pay me or bye-bye".
