Aaron Ross and Crowder are fine by me. I'd prefer Brian Robinson over Crowder though. The Tackle for No. Illinois doesn't seem like much of a run blocker or a strong guy. We need someone to help the running game as well. Kyle Young is a very nice pick though. Overall, that's a very solid mock.
Robinson's measrables does intrigue me. However, Crowder was slightly more productive and had shown the ability to drop down into coverage in college while Robinson. Robinson also seems to be a bit of a work out warrior. Well he did block for Michael Turner and Garrett Wolfe, both of whom rushed for a ridiculous amount of yards at Northern Illinois. That has to count for something. I love this guy. I've seen him just man-handle defensive linemen. He may not be the smartest guy in the academic world but he has a very high IQ when it comes to football. I could see him push and beat Moore for the starting job. Thanks!
