Heard Robinson interviewed on Dan Patrick's radio show this morning. The interesting parts to me were that he says the player he is most often compared to is LaDainian Tomlinson, and that while he's spoken to several teams via Zoom, the two places he visited were Philadelphia and Tampa Bay. While the Eagles have the 30th pick, Tampa has the 19th pick. I was interested to see if he made it to 21 whether the Chargers would pick him to supplement or supplant Ekeler.

I think the likeliest positions for the Chargers to focus on in the first round are WR or TE, but I can't help thinking if Bijan makes it to their selection that he would be an excellent choice. Most draft "experts" say he's a top 5 talent who will only fall out of the top 10 due to the position he plays. With the money the Chargers are going to have to commit to Herbert, picking up a stud RB on a cheap rookie deal for the next few years might be hugely beneficial.

Overlooked that the Eagles have the Saints' pick at 10, so it's even less likely that Robinson would get to the Chargers' pick. But I can still hope for a week lol.

He would be a great pick, but I agree he's not likely to last until 21.
I''m still thinking (or hoping) WR, TE and Edge for their top three
picks, unless a premium talent like Robinson falls to them.
