Same bro. Solid player 

Antonio Johnson is a far superior prospect. Is a below average pick, it’s not horrible just underwhelming.

Another excellent pick, will likely play NB for us (which is fantastic bc it frees up Jaycee to play outside CB). Was a leader on FSU's defense, Zierlen has him as a top 100 player, Brugler has him with a 3-4 round grade and Jaycee called him a dog on twitter. 

You can take a bunch of long shots on UDFA but I think we got two real ball players today.

Really passed on Antonio Johnson?? Incomparable players, I like Robinson but man you can’t pass on Johnson for this guy.

They probably liked his skillset more to compliment and maybe round out the rest of the roster. Antonio is closer to a box safety whereas Jammie is more a FS or nickel

Seen some scout reports that say he could be used as a nickel, so they might have picked him with that in mind.

I like that comparison.

I kinda agree.  Robinson plays like a LB but is small and not the fastest either.  Classic tweener so it puzzles me too.  As a football player Jammie is very good though

2 really great picks today.  Robinson was one of the unquestioned leaders for FSU the last 2 seasons.  He's fun to watch, definitely has starter potential mid-career and has the NB fit for sub packages where we have 6 DBs.

Scheme might make a difference

Good pick. We needed more depth and competition at nickle CB.

I'll be honest. Like most of you, I don't know enough about anyone we drafted outside of Bryce Young to feel too strongly one way or the other.

Pretty happy with the way the roster is shaping up post FA and the draft.

Still hope we sign another EDGE and potentially an ILB for depth, but for the most part I think we're ready to roll.

None of us really know how these picks will work out, but we supposedly have the all star coaching staff. Now it's their turn to work their magic and get this team ready to win

[Butterflyj30]

Great Pick

[App Panther]

FSU produces good Safeties. I like it.

Antonio Johnson spent a lot of time playing nickel in his college career. He’s a more natural FS, could hold up at nickel but would be a natural pro transition to FS. Robinson is a more natural nickel for sure, I just don’t think he has the speed at 4.6 to ever be anything above average. Could get absolutely torched by these new age slot WRS.

  Carolina Panthers: Jammie Robinson, S, Florida State - B Grade  
Jammie Robinson is great in run support, but can be lost in coverage. The Panthers have struggled to stop the run in recent years, so this pick makes sense

A safety that stuffs the run but isn't good in coverage? Why does that sound so familiar? Oh yeah, these guys   

 preferred them.

JAMMIE ROBINSONS, CAROLINA PANTHERS

 

Panthers selected Florida State S Jammie Robinson with the No. 145 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. 

Robinson (5’11/191) spent his first two seasons at South Carolina where he logged the majority of his reps in the slot to take advantage of his tenacity around the line of scrimmage and short-area mirroring ability. He thrived in the role, playing 670 recording 62 tackles and five PBU, and a scintillating 90.7 PFF tackling grade en route to receiving freshman All-SEC accolades. However, after HC Will Muschamp was replaced by current HC Shane Beamer, Robinson opted to transfer to Florida State for a fresh start. It was a prescient decision, with Robinson recording a gaudy 183 tackles, 12.0 TFL, 13 PBU, and five interceptions over his two seasons with the Noles, earning First-Team All-ACC recognition in each. His role changed last season, with the Second Team All-American logging 76% of his snaps at either free safety or in the box as opposed to his previously slot-heavy role. The move allowed Robinson to showcase his toughness near the line and notable ability to sift through traffic and bring down ball carriers, as his 7.3 career missed tackle rate backs up. He's pretty small for box work in the NFL and will likely put his 6.89 3-Cone (85th percentile) and 1.51 10-yard split (98th percentile) to use by harassing slot receivers as a versatile nickel back who can also drop back to single-high when called upon.
