Sean McVay and Aaron Kromer, two new Los Angeles Rams coaches, seem carefully optimistic about former No. 2 overall pick OL Greg Robinson.

“Greg is a big part of that evaluation process. Obviously, when you look at some of the things he’s able to do, you see the athleticism. In space, when he’s pulling around and using some of those parameter schemes that they did offensively last year. He’s a guy that we’re excited to get around. That’s why you’re frustrated that you have to wait so long to get these guys in the building, see them on the grass, how you’re going to evaluate their ability to kind of retain some of the things we’ll ask them to do, what Coach Kromer will do, technique, fundamental-wise, which is imperative for that group up front. And Greg is a guy that we’re constantly evaluating and he’s a big part of what we’re going to try to do moving forward right now.”

It’s important to note that McVay said that he’s excited about Robinson and noted his athleticism.

Obviously, the most telling aspect of the quote is that Robinson is a big part of the plan for the Rams.

McVay called Greg Robinson "a big part of what we're going to try to do," but wouldn't specify if he'd remain LT. https://t.co/JsqqTF1uvi — Alden Gonzalez (@Alden_Gonzalez) February 10, 2017

Aaron Kromer, the new Rams offensive line coach, also seemed carefully optimistic about the prospects for Robinson.

Here’s what Kromer, once an offensive coordinator for the Chicago Bears, said about the former No. 2 overall pick:

“There’s always high expectations for guys, and it’s hard for anybody in those situations. I think I can still do more work with him, as far as watching tape and that. But, I hate to judge a guy before I talk to him, work with him, decide, ‘Hey, you’re good at this, or you’d be better if you did this technique. Or you’d be better thinking this simple thought so you didn’t have confusion. Why are you thinking about all of these other things?’ I look forward to working with the whole group. Hopefully, I can help them become better. That’s my goal. I’m a teacher. I want them to pass the test, and my goal is to get them from whatever level they’re at now, to try to get an ‘A’ in the class.”

The Rams will likely draft an offensive lineman, or pick one up in free agency, but that doesn’t mean the new player will replace the 24-year-old offensive lineman.
