Round 5, pick #152 Panthers select XFL (formerly West Virginia) Safety Kenny Robinson

Panthers selected XFL S Kenny Robinson with the No. 152 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.

Robinson (6’2/198) was a two-year starting free safety at West Virginia before he was kicked out of school for academic fraud. Because he’s only three years removed from high school, Robinson was draft-eligible despite playing in the XFL last season (21 tackles in five games). He has quality coverage and ball skills -- he played some corner in college -- but needs to be more physical against the run to be a starter in the NFL. Robinson’s off-field character is in question, but he has the athleticism and ballhawking traits to compete for defensive snaps at safety on Sundays.

How the hell did he enter the draft after going pro on the XFL? Doesn’t make any sense. Why didn’t we just signed him. We did with Walker
 

but Rhule is clearly building a very tall secondary

    • Though question the validity of this chart, it does remind me of concerns I have with our offense. I’m unsure whether it’s Canales doesn’t trust Bryce to execute his gameplan or if the route concepts and scheme is vanilla and unimaginative by design.  When watching other games, the receivers seem like they get more separation and aren’t as clustered together as ours. The Panthers WR, TE and RBs, more often than not, seem very close to each other and almost like their feet are stuck in a lower gear in and out of routes/off the LOS. Often times, unclear of their positioning when the first read isn’t there and where they should be positioned within the options of that particular route concept (e.g. Bryce is under duress and the play breaks down….where do you go? Pre-snap we thought it was man, it’s disguised well as zone). It’s almost like if the coaches don’t tell them, the players aren’t intelligent enough to figure this out on their own. Or are the players simply doing as told by the coaches in film study, practice and in-game, which means the coaching is inept. 
    • I think Young has totally killed the idea of drafting undersized QB's and hoping it works. Especially at such a high pick and putting all your cards on the table. He won't last in this league.
    • Well, maybe it will save us some money down the line when it is time to give him a new deal. Might be one of the unsung Benefits of Bryce.
