When the Rams made Greg Robinson the second overall pick in the draft, it was assumed he’d play left tackle. Only days later, G.M. Les Snead explained that Robinson may play guard.
Since then, it’s become more clear that Robinson will indeed play guard as a rookie. It’s also becoming clear that he’s having a hard time with the transition.

Robinson’s struggles aren’t a complete surprise to league insiders who had their doubts about Robinson’s ability to be dominant at the next level. Robinson’s reference to the intensity of the playbook won’t surprise skeptics, either, given that Robinson dealt with a limited range of plays and protections at Auburn. It makes the Rams’ risk even bigger, especially since they’ve moved Robinson to a position that typically doesn’t demand a top-five draft pedigree.

I'm not saying anything. What the NFL analyst/writer is saying is that Robinson's struggles should have been expected since he was coming from Auburn's system.
I would expect other SEC teams to use this against Auburn in recruiting.

I don't think the writer is a bammer. I could be wrong.

Auburn has only had a couple of players drafted highly enough to be up for consideration of the title "bust". This thread isn't some dick measuring contest.
I'm just posting the news.

So you're saying the top draft picks don't need to be early contributors to their teams?

Threads like these make me chuckle. If the player in question was a former UA player this thread would be 8 pages long filled with AU LSU and maybe Om and AM fans. Totally ripping the kid. Feels good being on the otherside
