Like I said we'll see in a couple of years 

Are you saying that is who you would pick?

Personally I think he might be in consideration more then some on here think, a lot is going to be determined by who goes before us.  I'm not convinced he is going to be an elite LT but what if he becomes an elite RT, how much value is there in that? 

He might be working on his footwork right now and show up at the combine and help himself, who knows.

The problem with LTs is that they are usually over drafted, very rarely are you going to get so called value from one.  At any given point in the draft you there will probably be a player of another position on your board with a higher grade.  At some point you just to decide how much you are willing to overdraft relative to what is out here to fill other needs.

I can't think of any other position that there seems to be such a deficiency in outside of maybe QBs.

By no means am I saying we should use the 8th pick on one, but if we are waiting for the perfect player at the perfect spot we might be waiting for awhile.  Maybe we overdraft in the 2nd or 3rd.

I'm not saying for sure that's who'd I'd pick, but I certainly believe he's worthy of the pick. We'll see how free agency shapes up. I've seen many players "dismissed" over the years only to come out and ball. Cam Robinson is good now and is only going to improve, has an extremely high ceiling

I like Robinson but I rather have Fournette

      Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.

      I wake up this morning full of rage towards Ronald McDonald Rivera / Gettleman / Hurney

      I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us.

      From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
