[Southpaw]

Originally drafted #2 overall by the Rams in 2014. Just traded to the Lions for a 6th rounder.

The cardinals have been there done that on multiple occasions.

How does that happen...what is the learning lesson from this latest bust at #2 overall?

That no pick comes without the risk of a bust.

Was this the guy that looked sloppily out of shape at the combine?

I'm just glad he got traded to another team we play this year.

Athletic freak but if dumb were dirt, he'd cover about an acre.

"The 2014 No. 2 overall pick was a bust for St. Louis/Los Angeles. Robinson's move also provided another reminder the Rams somehow lost their mega 2012 draft deal with the Redskins.

Washington no longer has quarterback Robert Griffin III, whom the Rams didn't want to take No. 2 overall five years ago. L.A., however is down to having only two of the eight players (defensive tackle Michael Brockers and linebacker Alec Ogletree) it was able to acquire from trading away its chance to take Griffin."

Nope. That was Andre Smith I think.

This guy was a beast, but it sounds like he cannot learn a playbook.

Could have some dude name Khalil Mack, who went #5.

TBH, it seems for all the 5-star HS recruits ALA lands, the success rate in the NFL is really low. Is there an ALA player other than Julio Jones, Landon Collins and Mark Ingram Jr that have done anything in the NFL?

Sometimes a change of scenery does wonders. Sometimes....not so much...

I remember that first round in which the Rams had two picks, and took the top offensive lineman and top defensive lineman in the whole draft. Robinson hasn't worked out. Aaron Donald? Different story.

Imagine if they would have taken Mack & Donald?
