So is everyone onboard here NOT drafting Bijan at 26 if he is there?

It would depend on who all was available. But if he's the best player on the board.....yes. I draft him.

No… If he’s there at 26, I likely would take him unless there is a guy that I love sitting there as well.

He is that much better than all of the other backs, IMO.

You would be getting one of the best players in the draft at 26. Of course you would take him. The Eagles might take him at 10.

 

[Risen Star]

You'd probably have another Zeke situation. 4 or 5 years of being worth the pick. Then odds are probably not.

More palatable at 26 though.

I’m taking him too. Very unlikely a player I have rated higher than bijan will also be available

 

[JBS]

I am almost 100% sure that you’re right.

Bobby Belt says otherwise

 

[Risen Star]

Robinson won't be there at 26. The RB bias might drop him out of the top 10 but not the top 25.

And I'd bet my money on the Cowboys passing even if he was. Because they just franchised Pollard and restructured Zeke's contract the month before.

Far be it from me to disagree with Bobby. I stand corrected.

 

[cnuball21]

Haha, I got you. So you’re not going to be happy when Dallas takes Gibbs at 26?

Not at all.

 

[Rayman70]

Love this guy. He plays HARD and produces. Can't wait to see what he runs.

I missed what he ended u running but with him, even if he ran a bad time, I don't care. He is just a really great ball player with heart and grit. His instincts as a finisher can't be measured. His best trait might be tackling. Might be the best form tackler in the draft. Something that many don't d these days.

 

[Rayman70]

Bresee with a pair of 4.93s at a cheeseburger under 300 lbs. That's pretty darn good, but his draft stock was depending on freakazoid workout numbers.Bryan Broaddus and others don't like him but all the dude does is stuff the run and is disruptive in the pass game from the DT position. Hard to move. Its not very sexy but this guy at 26 wouldn't be a fan fave but I wouldn't be mad at all.If we can Resign Hankins and air him with this guy, we have upgraded.He's a 3 down guy.

It always depends on the board!

 

[Malhavoc]

Robinson is the safest elite player in the draft. I still don’t see him making it to 26.

Agree. If he is the highest rated on your board by a ton you have to take him. If he gave you 5 really good years that would be great. In 5 years Zack Martin will be retired and Dak will be gone. Being able to have a top flight back to integrate with the next rookie QB is a good thing. A good running game really helps a young QB unless you have someone like Josh Allen or Patrick M or Joey B.

Combine really cleared up stuff for us.

Not.

RB might be the best player available and that just sucks. RB is such a low ROI for a first round pick.

Note, the fact Bijan might be there at 26 is kind of why we shouldn't take him. The league just doesn't value RBs in a cap world because they wear down faster and teams are showing they can build run games with mix and matching in FA and later round picks.

The Eagles will not take him at 10. The Eagles don't believe in putting real assets into the RB position. They kind of piece it together as they go.

They "may" take him at 31 but that's only because they had two first rounders to burn. I'd be more inclined to take Robinson at 26 if we had, say the 11th pick too.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

I would comp Devon Achane to ~Boston Scott.

Productive role players.

 

[tm1119]

Takes a guard off the board that could potentially play early

I believe it did. Look at our meetings. Team is flashing their needs
