Robinson has shown enough flashes I think to warrant a late 5th-round pick. Definitely not reaching on anyone at that point in my opinion. You're basically picking straws there. If a guy fell, like Horton for example, I'd jump on that. I just think he's in the range of late 3rd to late 4th much like McGuire and Diaby. Sure, if one of those guys falls down that far I'd change course. It's more about what I think is available at that point and it's definitely not what's available on pickyourfavoritedraftmachine.com.
I love Stills. He's the same guy as Calijah Kancey to me. That means one of two things, either Kancey is being drastically overvalued or Stills is being drastically undervalued. I'm going off of consensus opinions from writers I respect and that's where they have him. I think it has a chance to be far too low. My personal opinion is this is a 3rd-4th round guy and so is Kancey. Neither is the ideal size, neither are exceptional run defenders, and both get after the QB quite well. But as I said, you kind of have to give some credence to the national beats and think they might have a slightly better pulse on how teams feel than what my eyeballs alone tell me. Personally, I'd probably have the 3 of these guys as 4th Stills, 5th Young, and 6th Robinson. It's all relative though.

I'm not doubting them as players. I'm just saying that I see them as a reach in the spots you selected them. 134 and 178 I can see them not making that expectation. Tavius I can see him going earlier than either of the other 2 with his skillset.
No worries though. With a "what I want" type draft you are going to have to have the expectation going in you will have to reach a time or 2.
