2016 NFL Draft Scouting Report: Alabama DL A’Shawn Robinson | The Draft Wire

Weaknesses
  • Lacks flexibility and bend in his lower half
  • Inconsistent get-off, will often be last defender off the ball
  • Not an explosive athlete, speed-to-power conversion hurt greatly by lack of burst off the snap
  • Way too upright off the ball, gets leveraged consistently and can’t generate push
  • No violent hand usage to speak of, could be a lack of development
  • Pass rush moves are non-existent, no hand swat, spin, grip/rip, swim, anything
  • Inactive/robotic upper half allows him to be blocked easily
  • Struggles to diagnose quickly, often pursues misdirections with several false steps, difficulty locating the ball
  • Not a naturally instinctive player, wins with natural power only
  • Didn’t beat a double team once on tape, completely overwhelmed by them
  • Poor motor, will give minimal effort on passing downs and very little in pursuit
  • Content with battling to a stalemate and simply holding ground
  • Conditioning may be a question


Don't we already have this?!? And we want to spend a first round pick on this?!?

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

Thank you for saying this, im just not a fan. & while we're being honest...this may be against the grain, but im not a fan of drafting Deion Jones before the 3rd/4th. The testing numbers are all good & nice but it just doesnt transfer to the tape. Theres flashes but the alabama tape & several others just aren't great to me. Gets bullied too often & the coverage skills were just average. I dont see 4.3/4.4 speed anywhere on tape either, its not like the complaints ppl have with Treadwell either, sure treadwell ran slow while not being the biggest possession wr, but his tape shows the opposite which doesn't make it a concern imo. In the end tape trumps all.
