Taking Robinson would be a great move. Who knows what the phins will do during free agencey, but having a the core of Long,Smiley,Satele,Carey hopefully resigned and Robinson being drafted it would make sense. No one knows how good Donald Thomas will be, why wait around to find out if he is any good. He could be an insurance policy to Smiley. Robinson is listed at 6'5-344 pounds. That is a big boy and maybe the right size for tuna. Also consider that most of the best nose tackles will be gone by 25. Ron Brace from BC might be a option in the 2nd or 3rd. It would just make this team better. We could use our 2nd round picks on defense depending what will do in the free agent market.
 
i'm all for getting him with our 1st rd pick...him&Long together side by side would be NASTY and our RB's would have holes for days to run through...
 
He could only play Right guard in our Offense so I think that would be a terrible pick. I think the pick will be one of these following 4 players.. Max Unger, Hakeem Nicks, Larry English, or Clint Sintim

why do you say that? he played LG for Oklahoma...
 
center also would be a better pick imo, because it give us a center-Mack, Wood, Caldwell ect. and a good gaurd in Satele

Nah, that is just throwing Thomas away. We need to either kill two birds with one stone by drafting Eben Britton...which will not only move Carey in to RG, but provide the MIA OL with another OT, which is where we are scarce at behing Long and Carey.... or they should go ahead and select Max Unger or Alex Mack that would move Satele to the bench, or replace Thomas, should he be a bust, as you are worried of...

no one knows for sure what Thomas will turn out to be. I think Robinson is going to be a good one for years to come.

Robinson has just as much, if not more, "no one knows for sure" being that he is a rookie, not even drafted yet.

At least Thomas has played in an NFL game and had a whole preseason and TC. Duke has not.

I hear what your saying but did everyone onwo that Langford would be good? or that Bell a 7th round pick himself would become soo good..there are no guarantees, it is all blind faith. I am willing to give Satele a 2nd chance because of his torn laborn injury maybe add 15 pounds or so....I wouldnt be upset if they toke an offensive lineman with the 1st pick i just rather it be Robinson..
 
Why would that be throwing Thomas away?? We have no idea how Smiley will return. Reports can say whatever but no one knows. Besides, isnt rg Smileys natural position? Now. Me myself i feel we cant go wrong in the draft. Unless we pick an area of obvious strength. Lt,Qb,Rb,De,Te,. Lg is not one of them. Lb, secondary, o line, nose. Any one would be perfectly acceptable to me. Now this is obviously imo. The fecta could completly see things 180 of me. There is alot of players on boths sides id have no problems picking and big Duke sure as shootin is one of them.
