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.

      Panthers coverage efficiency

      By NAS · Posted

      Call me crazy but if you’re in the bottom 7 in efficiency using Zone 84% of the time why not try something else? You paid Jaycee top 5 CB money use him more effectively. Zone is only efficient if you can generate a good pass rush to force a QB into mistakes otherwise you will get picked apart

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Good Lord this board has become a cesspool of negativity and where fandom becomes something twisted and unrecognizable.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.
