What exactly is "much more upside" than an expected all pro OT, which is what Matthews is projected as. We are talking about two high level OL not two projects.
"All-Pro" is a rudimentary label.
Robinson has more upside because he has a level of power and strength to his game that Matthews can not and will not be able to match. Matthews is more technically sound (and consistent), but you're never going to be able to train him to physically dominate defenders like Robinson can. Robinson is a freak athletically, the notion is that you can coach him to be as fundamentally sound as Matthews is. That is the difference.
Matthews is a nice prospect, but you're not going to find very many 330 pound tackles who carry the weight effortlessly and move like Robinson can.
