That's it, Robertson at the NFL level is a slot dude.

Is this a matter of Robertson not measuring up to some of the baseline requirements for Spags? Because production wise it is not that close between these two players. Robertson had a lot more tackles over the past three years, along with interceptions and pass breakups.

Flame away.

One guy can play on the outside, while the other can’t.

That’s what I’m hoping it boils down to. But this also speaks to need/fit, instead of best player available...

Spags doesn’t like small corners.

On the outside. He lines up honey badger on the slot often. He’s not big at all.

First off, we need secondary depth. Sneed is a phenomenal athlete and I have a strong feeling they're gonna give him a hard look at gunner on ST's. We signed that blazer from the NYG and pairing him up with Sneed on the opposite side may give us the fastest tandem in the NFL.

It’s all about versatility though.

Sneed can play outside or S.

Robertson is strictly a NB.

Chiefs are murdering this draft.

I don’t know how to react, quite frankly.

Fits the versatile profile they prefer. Can be moved around and not limited where you put him.

Robertson also has injury concerns, on top of what a few people already pointed out.

I am not a fan of short DB's, at all, especially considering all of the 1st place teams the Chiefs play each and every year, along with division rivals.

Seeing shorter CB's getting eaten alive by the likes of Mike Evans, Mike Williams and others is aggravating as hell.

This guy's measurables are off the charts and if the Chiefs feels he's coachable, then they certainly deserve the benefit of the doubt because if they're right, he'll be much more valuable in the end than 5'8 Robertson.
