OT prospect for the 1st round

(Truth in advertising:  I know a lot about this guy because he plays for my college team.  So is there any bias involved?  At the very least, a little.)

 

Auburn LT Greg Robinson is "blowing up" on the scouting sites as a potential 1st rounder.

 

This guy is an out and out MAULER in the run game.  And his athleticism is through the roof and looks extremely adaptable to becoming a very good pass blocker (he's already pretty good, its just that Auburn only passes the ball about 1 out of every 3 plays).

 

Here's a look at him in the SEC Championship Game against Missouri (in which his usual opponent on each play was Missouri #47, Kony Ealy, also a potential high round pick).

 

 

And here's an article pointing out Robinson's skills from a scouting viewpoint.

I've watched him every game (and every home game + the SECCG in person)... the kid is a beast.  From what I've read, the way his value is potentially going up and up, he may not even be available at our pick in the lower 1st.  But if he is, I think he'd be an HUGE upgrade immediately at RT (if we hopefully resign Gross) and an eventual replacement at LT.

I would love him but he may go to high for us and he may come back if they don't win this year. Best case scenario he drops to us and we get a steal

 

 

Yeah, his value seems to be doing nothing but going up and up and up.

I think he'll declare for the NFL.

 

And, from what it looks like, he'll probably be long gone by the time we pick. :(

For what it's worth,WalterFootball.com's projected  2014 NFL Draft has Auburn OT Greg Robinson going to the Titans real early in rd # 1.

The Titans are fine at offensive tackle right now, but Michael Roos and David Stewart will be free agents in 2015 and 2014, respectively (the latter has a voidable year after this upcoming season). They'll need to retool at the position if they don't re-sign either of the two.

I'm bumping Greg Robinson up to the No. 2 tackle slot. Robinson has been amazing during Auburn's improbable run to the national championship - though Alabama should be playing Florida State in the BCS Championship

LOL... ok.  :lol:

 

(He uses the Vegas lines PRIOR to games to support his logic... yet he has failed to go back and see just how many times Auburn has won games this year AGAINST THE SPREAD.  In other words, it seems that Vegas hasn't really had a handle on just how good Auburn really is all damn year long.  He also justifies Bama's loss to Auburn because of Bama's many missed opportunities while AT THE SAME TIME ignoring missed opportunities to score by Auburn.  Its almost as if he uses only the facts that supports the conclusion that he favors.)

i paid very close attention to him vs Mizzou and he stood out vs some pretty good DL talent. he moves very well, and was hardly on the ground. he can block down, reach and get to the second level with ease. and if he gets hands on you, you are not getting off without a fight, and by then the ball is gone.

 

didnt see him pass block one on one much, but he has the athletic ability to handle itpushed DEs up the field to allow Marshall to step up in the pocket. the time Kony Ealy or Sams got into the backfield was when Robinson was not assigned to them because he was blocking down, or pulling, and the scheme has him pass blocking vs DTs and others instead of the DE at times. Ealy took advantage of that match up when it occured, but could find the same results vs Robinson.

Id Lewan, love his nastiness. 

 

I love his physicality too. Dont get me wrong.

 

I just think that Lewan can still improve. Cameron Erving is too good of player and probably the best all around OT other than Matthews. If Greg Robinson's stock keep on rising, Lewan could fall. I wouldnt mind Lewan falling to us in the late 1st.

Erving is beast, if either him or Lewan fall to us that is money.

 

If Gross doesn't retire than Lewan can play RT and eventually grow into the LT position

    • Now now now, I wouldn't say there is no logic, but there's just not a lot of in-depth thought put into Barnwell's  "analysis." Now to be fair to him (and other national writers), pre-season team rankings are basically clickbait. And...Barnwell, himself, said that "there's a lot of projection here." He basically admits that he doesn't know how the hell things are going to turn out with our receiver group. He also said that "I find myself" more intrigued by Coker than Legette; that does not mean that he said that fans should be, or that Coker will even be better than Legette (regardless of ESPN's per-route-run stat). So, yeah, Barnwell said some things, but even he has to basically admit that he doesn't know how bad or good that our playmakers will be in 2025.  Overall, what Barnwell is basically thinking is that the Panthers have gotten worse at the offensive skill positions, and baked into that is that others have gotten better. That's the argument in July (meaning, please don't give this any more weight than it's due). I would personally be surprised (not shocked) if we end up worse than the Titans, Pats and Giants at least. Once you throw in the Bills, Giants, Jets, Steelers, and even the Chargers, I personally think there are several teams' skill groups that may end up ranked lower than ours by the end of 2025.  @kungfoodudeis one of my dudes, but like others he is over the tipping point. He's had enough. Seeing is believing. I will say this though: Barnwell's piece is less about logic than just good ol' opinion. And to be honest, he might as well be a Huddler throwing out sh¡t in the summer based upon nothing but good feels or bad feels.  Our offense as a whole (just like any other team's) is going to depend upon the play of the O-line and especially the QB. How you can even rank the skill positions without expressly baking those two things in the cake is beyond me. I would dare say that that's not even logical. 
    • Football is not the professional sport where timidness and apprehension are justly rewarded. 
    • Bryce Young had a super high floor definitely at least won't be a bust safe pick we allegedly had seen in some time.......and went on to have one of the worst rookie seasons of all time.  They are all lotto picks.  And that is especially true for whatever they will be day 1 in the NFL.  I don't think Tmac is a sure thing year 1.  It's not like we watched him do his thing in the SEC.  He was a PAC12 guy.  I'm sure it will take time
