If this was a mid rounder or late rounder it wouldn't be such a tremendous eye sore, but to not take a play maker (somebody who touches the ball or rush the passer) you simply cannot miss on that #2 PICK

When you make a pick that makes no sense from the get go, you have to hit. To boot, Robinson was a known development project with no guarantee he could develop versus a player that was NFL ready.

It was a shot in the dark for an asset that could have been used for an entire draft as we see with #1's and #2's pick year after year.

So think of it as this. Do you want a player that struggles to compete for a roster spot in year 5 or do you want another team's entire draft or multiple #1's and #2's?

Donald is a great player but too much to overcome a pick that made no sense from the get go.

Strongly disagree, 81.

And on multiple levels.

Firstly, a potential future HOF player transcends a bust at #2 all day long. It's not even close.

Secondly, you are engaging in revisionist history. GRob was hardly a shot in the dark, Hell, he was the consensus pick by the overwhelming majority of the "experts" for the Ram's choice. Clearly, he was a bust. Because of something between his ears, mind you. But that is hindsight, isn't it? It seems silly to keep flogging that dead horse because you now know something that everybody now knows but nobody knew 3 years ago. Like the winning Lotto numbers the day AFTER the pick had to be made.
