Ease back Danno, I like Robinson don't get me wrong ( although to be honest I like Johnny Patrick better if he can stay healthy) Forgive me if I'm not the first to the drink station to get the Robinson "Root Beer" ( kool aid would have done if his last name weren't Robinson). If he becomes that first round steal like you suggest I will probably be more open to it though! BTW do you think they already know Jabari will get injured at somepoint this season and that's why there working out the Falcons corner.

I see it as just looking for depth; we lost Porter and most likely Torrence will not be resigned.

Those aren't my stats.

I don't think I ever called him a 1st round steal did I? I'll have to check. Besides, can pick 32 really be considered a 1st round steal?

I don't get the Kool-aid and Robinson connection. What am I missing?

I could've sworn I saw a lot of people calling him a bum and wanted him cut in the first half of the season last year.

I like the guy but I can't consider him to be better than Greer just yet. Greer was solid last year and Robinson showed some flashes for sure.
There is a reason that the Saints didn't appear to make an offer to Porter. That leads me to believe that not only was Robinson better than Porter in the Saints eyes, Patrick was as well.
