Duke Robinson looks like the perfect pick for Ted; injured, out of shape and not very comitted to the game.

This is why he has a tougher job than it might first appear. I am no college homer draft-pick zealot. Take Pack's quotations, take mine, and take a moment to further research this one individual. This would be a classic dilemma for an NFL GM.
Seriously, go look into this guy. I would be very interested to see if you want to hang with that commentary...absolutely not a dig, here... just do it if you get the time and let us know your opinion.

I read the ProFootball weekly comentary above that they wrote for each player. He didn't sound very impressive to me.
He could pose a dilemma for any GM as his size and power could be very impressive.......... when he feels like playing.
And bingo.....he sounds like Teds 1st round pick that can't seem to find the field but his enormous potential might come cheap.
Ted has drafted pretty well over all but the Harrell pick really sticks in my craw. I'd hate to see him repeat that mistake.

Here is another view:
(No way this is debatable? I say it definitely IS!)
From Walterfootball.com
Duke Robinson, Oklahoma
Height: 6-5. Weight: 330.
Projected 40 Time: 5.28.
Projected Round (2009): Top 25 Pick.
11/20/08: Still the elite guard in this class by a wide distance. He could go in the top 15 if a team needs a guard.
5/25/08: Duke Robinson has emerged as the consensus top 2009 guard. He nearly came out a year early, which is extremely rare for a guard.
2007: Duke Robinson, who looks extremely fit for a 330-pound lineman, is a complete guard and is basically dominating everyone put in front of him.
Herman Johnson, LSU
Height: 6-7. Weight: 349.
Projected 40 Time: 5.45.
Projected Round (2009): 2.
11/2/08: Just like Duke Robinson is the No. 1 guard by a long shot, Herman Johnson is second by a large distance. He won't go in the first round, but he's a second-round lock right now.
10/25/08: Herman Johnson, a member of the All-SEC first team, has made 26 consecutive starts. If it wasn't for a certain guard from Oklahoma, this would be the pick on most NFL teams in the first round.
2007: There aren't too many football players on any level who are bigger than Herman Johnson. The monstrous guard took over for Will Arnold in the middle of the 2006 season and never looked back, starting the final eight games of the year.
