Has a high opinion on Toney
Likes Ojulari but thinks that he fell to second round because he had trouble with the better tackles in the SEC
Likes Robinson but does not think he is as good a player as Darnay Holmes
Likes Smith but thinks he needs to get stronger
Does not like Brightwell. Fumbled 3 times in one game and is not able to help protect the QB.
Likes Williams
Is there a link for his draft summary?

Well, they obviously like him for special teams, and there's potential to work on the hands and potentially be an effective option on short yardage. He needs work, like everyone getting picked in the 6th round or later. Not sure why people are so confused by this kid

Perhaps it feels like a redundancy with Barkley as the speed back off-tackle. I know I myself would have preferred a power back who can catch passes out of the backfield (which Barkley can do) or pass protect against blitzers (which he can't).
Darnay Holmes is better than Robinson? Maybe, but pure conjecture.
Bobby Skinner is not nearly as informed or knowledgeable as he pretends to be. He has found an audience with fans who know less about football than him and believe his word to be gospel.

Really? You don't think he knows what he's talking about with regard to O-line play? How do you feel about Nick Falato?
I personally like Murf Baldwin better, I think he has much more experience and is far more knowledgeable than Bobby Skinner.
Anyway, leading up to the draft he and Skinner seemed to be polar opposites when it came to a lot of prospects. for example, Skinner loved Slater but didn't like Rousseau. Tim hated Slater and liked Rousseau. Also, while Skinner was high on things like hiring Russ Callaway, Tim pretty much dismissed it, said fans were way off base when it came to the job of an Offensive Quality Control Assistant.
FWIW, if I'm not mistaken, Tim worked in the Tampa Bay organization for a while, but I don't know in what capacity.

hey the guy looks at and analyzes real tape -- so I give him credit for trying -- nobody is always right as it turns out

No offense, but this is just you being a contrarian to an oft-cited and somewhat popular source.
Also, how could it be conjecture that an NFL player with a year of service time is a better player than a rookie from UCF who isn't even fit for a helmet yet? Holmes SHOULD be better right now. It won't be some upset if Robinson doesn't take Holmes' job.

No offense taken Ten Ton. I have watched his breakdowns and have seen him consistently flat out get things wrong. There are better film breakdowns out there but Bobby is the only one that gets posted/talked about here. I didn’t form this opinion for the sole purpose of being a contrarian, I formed it based off of my analysis of his videos.
As for conjecture: a conclusion deduced by surmise or guesswork. No one knows how good Robinson will be in the NFL. To come to that conclusion already, without seeing him play, is the definition of conjecture.
I like Darnay a lot, I thought he played well last year - doesn’t mean Robinson wont be better. Only time will tell and forming an opinion now is foolish.
Basically, he produces content for Giants fans. And he's good at communicating his points.
He's been noticed by a lot of people on this board because a lot of Giants fans seek out information about the team.
As a former lineman, he has enough credibility, and frankly there aren't many other people breaking tape of tackles, guards and centers.
Ojulari is the steal of the draft IMO. I love the fact we got him even after trading down not once but twice. This is the pick that will solidify the ER group.
I just think when it comes to film breakdown there are better options out there such as Murf Baldwin of Top Billin. While crass, Murf was an college scout and I find him to be far more through and informative than Skinner.

Bobby dunk on you and block you on twitter? lmao so bitter.

No, not at all. I apologize for pointing out that there is better analysis out there that never gets mentioned on this board. I have nothing to be bitter about, I just have an informed opinion and I think fans would find other film breakdowns to be more informative. As I mentioned above, I like Talkin Giants, I I like their podcast its a fun listen, I just think their film breakdowns are subpar.
