Josh Robinson [CB] Central Florida
5'10
199 lbs

| Analysis wrote: | POSITIVES: Possesses legitimate NFL cover skills. Has a quick, low backpedal with a fluid hip turn to cover receivers down the field. Has at least adequate straight-line speed and good balance, fluidity to change directions. Alert defender for zone coverage, showing good understanding of route progressions occuring behind him and a quick burst downhill to break on underneath passes in front of him. Very good hand-eye coordination and timing to knock passes away as the receiver attempts to secure the catch. Highly competitive. Raised his level of play against top competition. Emerged as a standout punt returner in 2010, earning honorable mention accolades by averaging 15.2 yards per return (ninth in the country) as a sophomore, though he did not
return a punt for score over his career. Played in all 38 games of his UCF career and has had no known injuries.
NEGATIVES: Possesses only average height for the position. A bit high in his backpedal. Too often allows a free release to the receiver when in man-press coverage. Gets his hands on a lot of football but needs to do a better job of turning interception opportunities into actual interceptions, recording 10 despite breaking up 36 passes over his career. Struggled with fumbles as a punt returner, raising concerns about his ability to contribute in this role at the NFL level. |

Alright, I like it. Nice draft so far!
Let's get a wideout in the fourth, then. |

I like the pick.
I suspect this is a guy Leslie Frazier wanted.

McShay: I thought he was more of a 3rd or 4th round defensive back.
Ummm... |

I like Robinson's speed. But everything I have read and seen from him indicates that he's a slot defender, not an outside cornerback. Hopefully I'm wrong, but to me he seems like a faster Asher Allen.

Robinson is more talented than all those players, minus Cook. Of course he will see the field. He will probably be starting at RCB from day one with Winfield in the slot. Bowman, Allen and Carr are just roster fillers, not sure why anyone has faith in those guys as starters. |

"Gets his hands on a lot of football but needs to do a better job of turning interception opportunities into actual interceptions""
Oh yeah he'll fit right in here. ;P
I don't know much about him but the confidence in here makes me feel good about it. Hope to see Sanu later, Wiley Spiely seems to have cooled his trading.
