The Los Angeles Rams believed they had their left tackle of the future in 2014 when they drafted Greg Robinson second overall out of Auburn. He spent just three years with the franchise before the Rams traded him to the Lions, admitting their mistake in making him their top pick in 2014.

Andrew Whitworth will undoubtedly be an upgrade at left tackle, but Robinson has caught on in Detroit. The team released offensive tackle Cyrus Kouandjio on Tuesday, essentially guaranteeing Robinson will be the team’s starting left tackle in Week 1.

That should ensure that Greg Robinson starts at LT and Cornelius Lucas is in as a backup. — Dave Birkett (@davebirkett) August 29, 2017

Robinson probably won’t remain atop the depth chart all season, and is simply filling in for the injured Taylor Decker. Still, he’s played well in practice and in the preseason, earning the trust of the coaching staff.

Rams fans shouldn’t be angry about the fact that Robinson is starting elsewhere, though. The play of Whitworth this season will make it easy to forget about the former No. 2 overall pick and just how poorly he played for the past three years.
