Thoughts on allen robinson?
He is one of my least-favorite WRs in this draft. He is often compared to Jordan Matthews in terms of size (6'3") and speed, but that's where the similarities end in my opinion. Matthews actually ran a good 40 at his combine, while Robinson had a pretty slow 40.
Robinson put up some good stats in college, but watching him play, he earned a lot of YAC on routes designed to gain him yards on quick passes: bubble screens, plays with good blocking. His production is exaggerated a bit because of this. He has trouble separating because of his speed. He can fight hard for some YAC because he's tough to bring down. He's an instinctive body catcher, which gives him a small catch radius. He can fight for a ball in traffic if you throw it at him, just don't expect him to make a tough catch away from his body.
I really do not want Robinson. Jordan Matthews, who Robinson is often compared to, is one of my favorite WR prospects in this draft.
