I'd not kick Watkins off my team. I like Robinson better, but had we taken Watkins I'd be almost as excited.

Dude's a serious talent and WRs take time to develop. I really believe that between Robinson, Watkins and Matthews there was legitimately no bad choice to be made, so poking at those who wanted someone else is kind of silly.

I was a Robinson guy from early on..but I also loved Watkins and would not have been upset if we had gotten him...He is going to be ok, and wil be a force in this league..imho

I don't think a few practices are any kind of tell in who the better choice is. Rookies struggle. There's a learning curve for sure.
 
Yes, obviously. Which is why I thought it was ridiculous that everyone thought passing on Watkins was a terrible choice haha. Everyone always says receiver is the hardest position to adjust to. That said, at least Greg Robinson knows where to line up lol.

But really, it's just that time of year where not a whole lot is going on so reporters are just trying to stir things up I'm sure.

If a left guard couldn't figure out where to line up, I'd have little trouble cutting him on the spot. :D

Ohhhhh, between the tackle and the center? Shit man, I thought I was supposed to line up next to the quarterback. My bad, my bad.







Center's the guy out wide right, right?

So can we give Greg Robinson a break for learning an entirely new position? I'll be surprised if Watkins gets anything over 700 yds 5 tds.

I believe I and the other posters here who liked him give him more credit than that. I think in his situation he's going to get the touches and his YAC will put him above the 700 yds number. I sure like the kid, he's a player, but still glad the way our coaches went.

To paraphrase something I heard on NFL AM, (Playing him inside) Just tell him " Hit the guy in front of you." He'll open up gapping holes for us!!

I assume you mean Robinson? I thought you meant Watkins at first haha.
 
I was never a Sammy Watkins fan, in fact I think Evans is going to be the better pro but that being said, all rookies are learning the mental game.

Also what is there really to tell when they haven't even practiced in pad yet.

Almost all rookies are going to go through growing pains. I don't care where they're drafted, or for which position.

We just happen to have one who is honest and forthcoming, because he isn't where he wants to be right now...a Pro Bowl guard. Can the media give these kids more than a few OTA's to determine their futures??? Man, oh man.

True. Maybe one day they can sit in a chair and have the playbook plugged into their brain via the Matrix.
But for now, we might have to be patient beyond the course of 1 month.

Lol.

Once he starts tossing guys around "in games" like rag dolls, then we'll see what they think.
 
I flip flopped between Watkins and Robinson multiple times. Ultiltimately, Robinson makes the most sense for how Fisher likes to run his offense. I think we got it right, though Watkins is by far the sexiest pick we coulda made.

If Martz was running the Offense, then selecting Watkins might be a better choice.

With Fisher and Shotty, "larger more powerful men" suits what they want to do on offense.

Be nice to see opponents get repeatedly bulldozed on 3rd and 3 or 2.

Nothing is quite so demoralizing.

Been a very long time since we've been able to do that.
