Because he is a ram in the #90s but if he played for another team like the patriots or cowboys in the#50's maybe even #40's

It's not so much about sacks it's leadership and accountability not to mention it would help our run defense a lot. CL sets the edge and a lot of those big runs doesn't happen if he is on the field. The Vikings ran that sweep with Patterson as soon as CL was out the game. That play never happens if he is on the field

He has proven me wrong. I thought he was too small to match up with bigger, faster, stronger NFL Olinemen. I didn't like the sample size in college where most of the teams he played we're UConn level talent. Many sited Fl. st. But in reality their line is not very good.
In this case competition faced means very little.

On the other hand I have never been anything but certain Aaron would be a dominant player.
Seeing him up close with other linemen going through pre game drills he's NOT small ,he just isn't tall and he uses that to beat taller players ,his quickness compares favorably to Dwight Freeny and IMO could spell Quinn outside,he is special and although we had needs at other positions when we used the pick for him,I have serious dobts there was a player available who rendered NEAR the value Donald did, has and will. Best pick IMO Snead has made since being here
GRob and Donald. Wasn't a total fan of both at the time, though one of my last mocks included Donald, but I'm sure as heck we have them now. Donald is probably our best player right now.
Wish we had been able to swing Martin as well.

Funny you say that I have been wondering how he would fare on the outside with his speed and skill set. I would guess that if he got a shot at it he would wreck things from there too.

ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED!
If we could have traded up to get martin that probably means we wouldnt have Joyner and Im sure that still wouldnt have been enough to get back into the first round without giving up a first next year. But good God that would have been an amazing draft to get Robinson, Donald, and Martin both lines would have then been set up to dominate for years to come.
Hell I want to see them use him as a RB in goal line situations like the Bears did the Fridge,his "getoff " is as quick as most RBs and he would make his own hole
Hats off to the young man. He is having a heck of a rookie showing. The way he shoots the gap is outstanding.
Agree with Thor, best pick by Snead and Fisher since they have been here. He could be really special.

And GRob could be the second best,I can't say it enough about how they NAILED IT with this draft ,now is NOT the time for a regime change and let someone else get the credit for the foundation that has been laid
Don't ya get tired of seeing QB's in the shotgun on 3rd and 1 ? I'm like, really? If I was an o-lineman I'd be insulted

If GRob develops like expected it is an incontestable success. Right now I could be just as happy if the picks were Kahlil Mack and Zach Martin. Both are playing great. But if GROb becomes a franchise OLT then the importance of that position trumps LBer and Guard.
I agree.......and that is a great down to do some PA and catch the backside of the defense off guard.
Jets have done it with Big Shell. I don't see why not when it's inside the 5. He'd be through before the tackles got up.
