Here's hoping one of those two is a STL Ram after they trade down and snag a extra pick.

Both will be really good OTs, really would like to see who is the quicker one.

Greg is one of the most talented LTs to come out of the draft the last decade
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.

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

I’m a Bills fan, so I’d be happy if either fell to #9

Hope the Falcons get either. No need to get into a pissing contest, as they're both beasts.

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

Oh look ... another auburn fan pissing contest.
Both players are studs.

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.

Both good players and you could make a case for either, it all depends on the team drafting

Jake is the safer pick. There is no doubt in my mind he'll have a long successful NFL career at tackle, guard, or center.
Robinson might have a little something extra to him. I expect both to go in the top 10 and Jake probably going second.
Jake's not going 2nd because the Rams will trade out. 90% sure. Someone will want Clowney or a quarterback.
The Rams will try to trade back within the Top 10 and take Matthews or Sammy Watkins.

He is not even remotely on Greg's level of strength and will never run block on Greg's level.
Jake is probably going to be solid but his ceiling isn't close to matching Greg's. Greg likely will run significantly better, has the length and weighs 30 pounds more

Based on trai turners look in an lsu uni, I was expecting a 5.5.
He just ran a 4.84.
Crazy.

Rams should take Robinson. They have gone to a more power running style with Zac in backfield.
