lets face it... he's ranked in the top 10 because of his last name, his father and Johnny Football.
His brothers weren't highly ranked, so the last name didn't help them. Johnny Football hurt Matthews much more than he helped him. He held onto the ball a long long time.Greg Robinson belongs in the NFC West. He's the guy. He's better, stronger and has a higher ceiling. He's the better fit for Stacy and St. Louis' revamped run offense.
Jake Matthews is OK. But lets face it... he's ranked in the top 10 because of his last name, his father and Johnny Football. He doesn't have Robinson's ceiling. I think Matthews is the 3rd best OT in this draft (but the other guy is undraftable in the top 15 due to off-the-field concerns).
With Dahl gone... the offense needs someone with attitude up front. And that's not Matthews, sorry.
Yeah. I'm not buying that.
It's Texas A&M football. They fill that place up all the time. Nepotism doesn't block the opposing RDE, skill does that. If Matthews last name were Smith he would still be held in high regard.Why not? The NFL is a game of nepotism. Always has been. Only Robinson didn't have to get his daddy to spread the word and befriend NFL coaches. He earned everything on his own.
Please. If Matthews' last name was Smith and he had no NFL ties and player for... lets say Tennessee... the last couple years, he'd be on mocked in the 20's.
And Fro... Really? Playing just over five feet away from the most watched player in all of college football... hurt him? You don't really believe that, do you? I guess Scottie Pippen's career was held back because of Michael Jordan too.

What does Matthews do wrong or lack that makes him unworthy of a top 10 pick?
So... Bruce is why Jake Mathews is widely regarded as a top 10 pick?
It is that easy and that simple?
