That’s why we haven’t won excrement, because we can’t draft. It’s long since been established. But if we can’t or won’t pay a guy it’s better to get something for him than nothing.
That said I think Leo has the potential to net us a comp pick that’s in the 3-4 range. If we can’t get a better offer on the market, we simply let him walk. Robby is more complicated, he is certainly not good enough to be untouchable. He is also one of the few potentially tradeable assets we have, but he’s also one of Sams only weapons. We saw what happened to Sanchez when we took away his OL and WR corps.
Sams current OL is worse than the one that destroyed Sanchez, and giving away Robby makes his receivers worse than the group that Destroyed Sanchez (although their attitudes are far better). Add in that I personally think the coaching now is worse than it was in ‘11 and The only saving grace we have is that Sams starting point is far better than Sanchez and he has a greater potential to overcome adversity.
That said his development is the only thing that matters and I’m not sure I’m giving Robby away for a pick expected in the late second right now. If the Bengals want to give us a 2nd that’s different from the Packers IMO. It would talk a lot to make me give him up.
