I wouldn't do that, we will still have a really good player that will upgrade a key position on our team. I would be a bit perplexed if they take Mathews with Robinson still on the board. However it would certainly give us a much clearer understanding on how the brain trust evaluates players and risk. I look at it this way, Robinson pick is a swing for the fence, but you can strike out easier. Mathews is that RBI double in the gap, with less chance of ending the inning and losing the game.Watkins or Robinson.
If we pick Matthews at #2, I'm going to smash my head into a wall.

The problem with that move is being desperate to take an OL in the first round. I don't think Martin fits the "find 2 HOF players" theme that Snead and Demoff have been preaching.Watkins
Trade back at 13 and draft Martin.
We'd have a good player, but I see a few guys with more talent and more upside than Matthews. Just my opinion.I wouldn't do that, we will still have a really good player that will upgrade a key position on our team.

Demoff said what to expect from #13 is if a great player drops they are taking him. They want 2 potentially great players, not one great player and then fill the OL need with the second pick.
