Is this a matter of Robertson not measuring up to some of the baseline requirements for Spags? Because production wise it is not that close between these two players. Robertson had a lot more tackles over the past three years, along with interceptions and pass breakups.
Flame away.
This is VERY simple.
One guy can play on the outside, while the other can’t. [Reply]

Fits the versatile profile they prefer. Can be moved around and not limited where you put him. [Reply]

I am not a fan of short DB's, at all, especially considering all of the 1st place teams the Chiefs play each and every year, along with division rivals.
Seeing shorter CB's getting eaten alive by the likes of Mike Evans, Mike Williams and others is aggravating as hell.
This guy's measurables are off the charts and if the Chiefs feels he's coachable, then they certainly deserve the benefit of the doubt because if they're right, he'll be much more valuable in the end than 5'8 Robertson. [Reply]

They were looking for Spags boundary corner and they locked in. I think Amik was a steal for Raiders but we wanted a Breeland replacement possibility. [Reply]
Like this pick, in terms of measurables. 6 ft, speed, vertical length. From the little clip they showed he plays physical, and has the size to play a little safety if necessary.
We might be looking at a CB1 or CB2 of the future here. [Reply]
