Patrick Robinson

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.

Jumping off topic for a bit. For all you tweeters.

I've updated the Twitter list to add our newest Saint.

Six people at my house watching the draft tonight and as soon as his name was mentioned, we all were silent and just looked at each other. The first person that spoke said "Who?".

I'm still trying to justify this pick, but I'm starting to wrap my brain around it more, and I completely understand why the Saints chose him after reading up on the guy. I don't think it was necessarily a bad pick, I just don't know if he was the best option.

I still will not doubt Peyton, Loomis, and Co., though. If they feel that Pat Rob was the best option, then I'm on board with it.

I remember looking at my dad a few years ago after a draft pick all be it later in the rounds and saying Who from Where?

The answer : Colston , From Hofstra. We find gems where others dont look.
I dont like the pick but am working hard to convince myself. We do need corners probably the biggest need area on our team.

I was the same way with Colston, but the major difference there is that he was a 7th round pick. Most people wouldn't know who he was. Robinson is different, because he is a first rounder. I don't know. Maybe it's just me, but I guess I'm just confused because the guy wasn't really a name that you heard much about. The front office still has my trust, however, and I accept anything they decide to do.

This pick should help us improve our passrush too. If the QB don't have anywhere to throw the ball he's a lot mor likely to get sacked.

Bingo..we can be real agressive in our schemes....

I trust Mr. Loomis and Coach Payton. They obviously see something in Robinson that most of us don't. I still don't have a clue who he is, even after doing research on him, mainly because I don't follow College football. I do hope he can prove his worth next season. I'm anxious to see him on the field in Black and Gold.
