Give me Robinson, he is a fierce run blocker and has much more upside. Matthews is a safe pick, nothing flashy.

I can see that, really can't go wrong with either

This wouldn't even be a discussion if his last names wasnt Matthews.... Greg is the better athlete with better measurables. JM is a more experienced pass blocker

I don't know that Robinson has "much more upside". Matthews could be a decade long All Pro NFL HOF OT just like his Dad. Hard to have "much more upside" than that.
Both guys are still basically the same size and Robinson is just a bit stronger. Matthews is just a tremendous all around player, he can do everything on the OL and do it well. At OL and especially OT a lot of it is about not making mistakes as much as it is "mauling".
Robinson has some slight physical advantages on Jake and I am sure his combine numbers will be better but Jake has the better film. It's also a joke to say he only has "1 year as a LT" when he was a 3 year starter at RT. He may have beaten out Joekel at LT originally except Joekel was an early enrollee.
It's also noteworthy that the Jake has an insane NFL pedigree in his family. His Grandad and of course his father played OT in the NFL. His older brother plays OT in the NFL. He has 2 cousins currently playing in the NFL including All Pro Clay. His Dad is also the OL coach for the Titans. Jake is about as prepared as any human could possibly be for the NFL transition.
