lol that's funny

Re: Patrick Robinson
 

heh... well, just remember how we struggled when Greer and Porter got hurt last year. I can see why people would be disappointed in a first round backup, but I see the Saints point of view as well. I have faith.

Re: Patrick Robinson
 

Hah, yeah I would love to hear Hebert trying to figure that out.

Re: Patrick Robinson
 

i dont understand why everyone saying its ok we did this because its a deep draft and we can get LB/DTs later. why draft a nickel cb/special teamer with our first pick when theres someone who could start available?

oh and dont go to youtube and watch highlight videos because the first one i saw made me throw up in my mouth. i cant believe what just happened, i pray we're all wrong about this guy.

Re: Patrick Robinson
 

Look at the bright side.....with a severe speech impedement, at least we won't have to worry about his mouth being a problem like with most CB's. :-) I'm still worried about audibles, though.

Re: Patrick Robinson
 

No way Patrick Robinson was BPA! He graded out a second round pick at best on most pre-draft evaluations. I hope I'm wrong but I think we made a huge mistake passing up Kindle.

Here's the skinny:

"STOCK WATCH


Many believe Patrick Robinson could be selected as high as 19th overall. (AP)
Trying to rank the cornerbacks in this year’s draft is extremely difficult because of how many players at the position could have a late-first-to-early-second grade. Among those a a few weeks was Florida State’s Patrick Robinson — who, in addition to being a heck of a story, could be a heck of a problem for opposing quarterbacks. After his Pro Day, he just may have given himself the nudge he needed to be a surefire first-round pick.

Robinson, who overcame a bad ankle in a 2009 season during which he established himself as one of the country’s top cover corners, didn’t wow anybody at the combine. His 4.46 40 time was marginal for someone of his size (5-foot-11 1/4). However, the 4.38 he ran recently at his Pro Day is more what scouts were looking for. Robinson is far from flashy and might not rack up a ton of picks (he had just one in his final two seasons combined after having six as a sophomore), but his ability to stick with receivers, which is supported now with a sub-4.4, is what teams will covet.

Robinson is a different case than perhaps anyone in this draft. He has had to overcome a lot — he was arrested prior to attending FSU for a prank gone wrong with his friends — but character issues haven’t come up in the news with Robinson since he established himself in the NCAA. He has a very bad speech impediment that can be nearly entirely vocally crippling, yet his confidence in spite of the unfortunate stutter is admirable. Every draft has a few guys that deserve a round of applause that lasts outside the Radio City Music Hall when their names are called. Robinson is one of those players this year, and if his private workouts go as well as his Pro Day did, he may hear his name called a lot sooner."

It Is What It Is What They’re Saying

He might not be as bad a pick as 1st thought. He & Porter could be a tandem for years to come.
