re: Greg Robinson vs. Jake Matthews at the NFL combine

Watch it

He is very raw

Greg is a very good run blocking OT, big physical, was used a lot in pulling a lot of OG skill with quick feet, needs help with sweep he will have to show some great feet today and he will be 1st OT

That said I hope he falls to Tampa but we likely won't see either, I think both those guys are gone at 7

Jake Matthews is a little more polished and a better pass blocker but its close. I've said before its up to what you want if you run a lot of power run schemes and need a mauler to run block a lot it's Greg, a team like Indy, Denver, or any other pass happy team would want Matthews probably over Matthews.

NFL comparison of both Greg Robinson looks a lot like Jason Peters, Matthews looks a lot like Jordan Gross, both are great and should have phenomenal careers though

CyKo is VERY raw and he did lose money and wasn't as good in the bench as a lot of scouts thought already, he will likely run a good 40 today we will see but his technique is what a lot of GMs and scouts are gonna be watching, but I am still of the opinion that he should've stayed a year and that would've been if he went to and played at Auburn, Maryland or Bama don't care, he needed another year.

Pretty much in full agreement but disagree on a few things.

Greg has much more upside than Jake due to his athleticism. Jake is a very good pass blocker and has very good technique. Greg isn't as polished but due to how talented he is with a very good OL coach he has more upside than Jake.

CyKo is considered lazy by some in the draft, he's very talented but his technique is poor due to this talent. He's not faced many that are close enough to his talent that he had to really block, he will face DEs consistently as talented or more talented at the next level. When he's faced talented DEs he's failed in a major way. The NFL guys are questioning his work ethic due to this fact, he didn't improve at all during the IB to the OU game. Has potential but there are some major concerns about him.
