Mods move this if you feel it's necessary.............. Since the season is over I wanted to create a draft profile in the upcoming weeks and months on certain college players.  In hopes of providing my personal insight, helping other familiarize themselves with the prospects and provoking a conservation among others.Just higher end players for now, and ones that pertain to our needs. I wanted to start by doing my favorite wr and everyone's favorite topic as of late. I've watched every tape of his on http://draftbreakdown.com/players/ and some twice, and wanted to share my thoughts and offer a breakdown. This is all pre-combine obviously and based just of game film, we can revisit them later if need be. Without further ado.........

 

The Numbers

6'3 210

2012 -  77,1013,11

2013 - 97,1432,6

 

Pro's

* Prototypical measurements, great build

*Great YAC

* Catches ball at it's highest point

* Can make the acrobatic catch

* Very fluid athlete and elusive

*Played in pro style system where he ran all the routes

 

 

 

Con's

*Offers little to no effort in the run game, often times just gets in the way at best

*Lets ball get into body to often

* Not a burner, and needs to learn to rely more on physicality to get separation

 

The breakdown

I think Robinson would make a ideal receiver in our system. I think he has all the traits to succeed, fast, physical, athletic, separates, makes the difficult catches, and makes plays after the catch. I like players who have done it over multiple years, and are a focal point of their team. Despite being the only real weapon on their team and shoddy q.b play he did it consistently. Had at least 5 catches and over 60 yds, in every game this year but one. High ceiling, high floor player

 

I also wanted to address those who complain the he catches a lot of screens. If you as much of Robinson as I have you would notice Penn. St. had real struggles in 2013 with their freshman quarterback. You could argue he would have had 3 or 4 more touches if not for errant passes. The team was almost forced to keep it short, and this I believe shows in his lack of red zone production

 

NFL comparison: Brandon Marshall

Projection: Late 1st - early 2nd

 

The film

 

 

The triple move(yes triple move) at 2:30 was when I feel in love with the guy. He leaves the defenders in another area code

 

 

The screen he caught at 2;58, reversed field and ran 65 yards was a thing of beauty. Yeah that doesn't happen in the NFL but it really hightlights his elusiveness

 

 

Wipes the floor with Syracuse. See  the :24 sec mark

 

 

Just for fun I wanted to include his H.S basketball highlights. Mutliple dunks, high rising blocks, etc. gives you a feel on how athletic he is.  See :53 sec mark

What round is he expected to go in? I really really think we should double up on WR in the first two rounds to give Cam some help. If we have the money I think we should (and especially if we can't keep Hardy) try to get Rodgers-Cromartie for our secondary.

If the Broncos win the SB I'm hearing he might retire

Late 1st-Early 2nd right now

 

Oh alright I thought he was more of a late 2nd, early 3rd. Haven't followed college players very closely yet, but I like the looks of Benjamin and Jordan Matthews. I'll look into Robinson though.

I will have to be honest..I did not see one snap of Allen Robinson's career..and I am sad for it bc he looks to be really good after the catch and is prettty explosive out of his cuts.

At 6'3 he will give that Josh Gordon type threat of size/speed/rte running hopefully without the drugs..unlike Josh.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
