2010 NFL Draft Scouting Report: Patrick Robinson

Strengths:
  • Solid size and strength
  • Very athletic
  • Smooth, fluid hips
  • Technically sound with low backpedal
  • Excellent feet
  • Good break on the ball
  • Instinctive
  • Turns head back to quarterback
  • Keeps play in front of him
  • Nice burst and acceleration – impressive speed
  • Talented skill set



    Weaknesses:
  • Not very competitive
  • Shies from taking on blocks

  • Doesn’t play up to measureables
  • Sometimes loses focus
  • First-round talent with mid-round tape

    Summary: Robinson has been highly rated solely based on his height, weight, and 40 time. I see a corner who refuses to play the run, but then he turns around and isn’t as dominant in pass coverage as I want him to be. There are rumors that he didn’t play hard as a senior to avoid injury – this really concerns me. I question how much Robinson loves the game. Robinson carries a third-round grade, and he’ll likely come off the board anywhere from very late first round to early third round.

    Player Comparison: Antonio Cromartie. Cromartie is a talented player who shows inconsistency and severely lacks in run support.
