    Inside the Rams from SCNG
    EPISODE 30 – The Rams trade Greg Robinson

    The NFL offseason is now officially underway, and Greg Robinson, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2014 draft, is no longer a Ram. The team traded Robinson to the Lions in the final hours of the offseason program, and on the latest episode of the Inside The Rams podcast, host Ryan Kartje breaks down the team’s decision to cut ties with their one-time franchise left tackle. Later, SCNG NFL columnist Vinny Bonsignore talks to Rams offensive lineman Jamon Brown about filling Robinson’s opening at right tackle, and Rams beat writer Rich Hammond joins to discuss his overall impressions from mini-camp.

    ANALYSIS

    STRENGTHS Has long arms and excellent overall body mass. Outstanding run blocker with the strength and power to wash down half of the line. Creates a surge and generates power from his lower body. Good get-off and body control. Excellent reach-blocking, chipping and releasing to the second level. Very good balance in his set and is quick to cut off the rush. Can maneuver his hips, shuffle, slide and mirror. Has a strong punch and replaces his hands. Very athletic in vertical sets.

    WEAKNESSES Could stand to refine his technique in pass protection and do a better job finishing blocks. At times will quit after contact and let defenders come underneath or get over the top — handwork is too passive. Developing eyes and awareness vs. the blitz — still learning how to adjust to overload pressure and could improve switching off blocks. Aggressively overextends and occasionally loses balance and falls off blocks.

    DRAFT PROJECTION Round 1 (top 10)

    BOTTOM LINE Big, strong, athletic, overpowering left tackle with the raw potential to become a premiere, franchise left tackle. Is only a third-year sophomore and two-year starter and still must improve his hand use, footwork and technique. However, he is undeniably gifted and capable of walking into a starting-left-tackle job in the pros and paving the way in the run game.
