Really only two players impressed me in that game - him and #8 for FSU. First time I'd seen FSU all year and that DT, other than being winded a lot, was really messing up the interior of the Auburn line while Robinson has been super impressive all season. When he declares I can see him being our pick at 7.
Jernigan will likely declare in the next couple days.kid was taking on double teams the whole game and still stuffing the run. not surprised he started wearing down. i dont think he left the field til the 4th quarter. watch the drives when he came out, Auburn starting being able to run on us inside again. hes been outstanding his entire 3 years but that was his best performance of his career. he played mean, nasty unselfish football and ruined the interior of Auburns OL. I wish hed had more opportunities to use his passrush moves to get after Marshall
I'm definitely intrigued by Robinson. I hadn't even heard of him until today, but I was very lukewarm on Lewan and Kouandjio so it's good to know there may be a legit #2 OT behind Matthews, whom I hadn't even gathered played as well as people expected.
im not interested in Lewan or Kouandjio in the least bit. both were not that impressive this year and Kouandjio was downright terrible his last few gamesmy OT boardJake MatthewsCam Erving (if he declares)Greg Robinson

Agreed on Kouandjio. He could not handle the speed rusher of the edge in college, he will get destroyed in the pros. Lewan is OK but I have Robinson and then Matthews as my #1 and #2 OT
he's going pro http://www.auburntigers.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/010714aan.html top 3 move to get rid of Penn, we need a top notch LT not an aging average LT with weight issue who cost + $7M per year!1. Jared Veldheer (UFA)one of top young LT, he is going to command a hefty contract, likely in the range of St. Louis' four-year, $34 million commitment to Jake Long.2. Jake Matthews (Top 5 pick)should go to the Rams, Raiders(if they loose Veldheer) or Falcons, but if he sleep to #7...3. Greg Robinson/Cameron Erving (Top 10/15 pick) trade down for a 2nd or 3rd + 4th round picks and take Robinson or Erving.
dal, you are referring to Timmie Jernigan. He has been a wrecking ball for FSU all year but as you noticed, his conditioning was an issue. I loved his drive though.
Kid had the flu and was playing against one of the most up tempo offenses in college. As a defensive player, you get winded a lot quicker than the offensive players during any long drive, but especially with no-huddle. FSU/Bama/LSU etc dont have defensive starters with conditioning issues.
I think Matthews goes to the Rams. Our biggest competition for Robinson will be the Falcons who unfortunately pick at #6 and what to get more physical on both the OL and DL
I have said several times I fully expect the Falcons to take an olineman to protect Ryan at their pick. Everyone is convinced they want a passrusher though.

One thing to consider, though, is that they gave Sam Baker a crapload of money before this past season and then he got hurt. I've heard they want him to return at left tackle.
