VaderMan Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 His stats dont blow you away, in fact they are rather weak. He has ideal size and speed though....so cant the rest be coached up?

He also has excellent agility numbers and should prove to create matchup issues in the passing game long term.He has great hands and a frame that looks fully developed. He looks about 20 pounds lighter than he really is and should end up as the starting tight end long term. He's a willing blocker and one of the harder workers on the Cincinnati team.WeaknessesHe needs a ton of refinement and is one of the rawest prospects in the draft. He needs to sit behind a true tight end for at least a year to learn the intricacies of the position as far as run blocking and route running are concerned.OverviewRobinson is an extremely raw prospect who needs a lot of coaching and refinement but could end up being a starter long term for an NFL team. His size, speed and strength will create long term matchup issues for opponents.How he would fit into the Falcons' plansRobinson would sit behind Tony Gonzalez for a year and would end up starting after him long term. He's got the natural abilities athletically but needs to get there mentally. With Gonzalez teaching him, he should be able to fast track mentally.

leftfield Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 nfldraftscout has him as a 7th-FA project.Why not - as is the case with LT we can and perhaps should take a developmental prospect this year with the view to a 1st and 2nd rnd talent in 2013 draft.

Master Exploder Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I don't much care for him. I'd rather us draft Rhett Ellison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atlfanstckndenver Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 A lot of people said the same thing about Jimmy Graham who i was hoping for back then. I like the idea of getting a raw athletic prospect who will be available late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
