Summary: Fifth year senior from Deerfield Beach, Florida. Began his career at Alabama in 2016 where he played in 13 games. Transferred to Central Florida in 2017 and redshirted. Two-year starter that earned 2nd Team All AAC honors in both 2019 and 2020. Robinson has the pro-caliber foot speed and burst that enables him to stay sticky to his man on all levels of the route tree. He can play the game with his feet rather than getting too grabby with his hands. Robinson has a lot of dog in him. He is always one of the toughest players on the field and he knows it. Even though he needs to control where he gets aggressive and where to gamble, he is the kind of player that elevates the energy of a defense. That doesn’t occur much from cornerbacks. His size may keep him at nickel but he can play both.
*There are some corners that elevate their game with swagger. They are constantly getting in fights, constantly running their mouth. I understand that isn’t an approach for everyone t get behind, but I personally love it. Much prefer that than guys on opposing teams laughing with each other all game and trading jerseys afterward. Robinson hates his opponent every week, and he plays like it. He also has really well-developed technique and footwork. Little gamble here, but I think he is starting in the league within a year or two.

They have some expensive veterans who will have to go for cap reasons in the next couple of years. You draft a guy like this, develop him and hopefully when the job opens up above him on the depth chart, he's ready to seize it and start
seems like a really good pick. Lots of pass breakups and tackles well. I agree that this is probably the end of Beal. JonC also said the Giants were not happy with their nickel play, so this is competition for Holmes.
sounds very similar to Holmes. Obviously they picked him higher and traded up for him so they must think he could be even better.
my biggest hope with this draft was increasing team speed. Check, check, check so far. And they added 3 more picks for next year.
Some poop on the board this week of some dissatisfaction with Holmes (maybe per JonC?): he made some costly mistakes, but he was a rook with talent, quicks, and twitch, smart. Wonder if it was that he didn't dress a fair amount because of dings.
his speed numbers online. 4.38 40. Surtain ran a 4.42 and Asante Samuel a 4.45. by comparison. Does not mean he is in their class but speed in a corner is certainly a nice asset to have.

I forgot who, but one or two of the NFL Network guys had him going in the late first round. Possibly DJ or Bucky Brooks.

Fifth rounder got from the Bears
The 5th we got from Chicago
This draft is going about how a lot said it would, more players going in slots not expected more than usual.
Our fifth round pick this year that we got from the Bears
Link - ( New Window )
We needed another corner. Another solid pick by DG.
Here are the picks DG has used on CBs:
Baker: 2,4,5.
Beal: 3.
Robinson: 3.
Love: 4.
Holmes: 4.
Ballentine: 6.
Yiadom: 7
McKinney-----Peppers
Ryan
Love
That's a young yet deep secondary
Beal is a foregone conclusion. They already gave his number to someone else.
