If a guy can't produce good sack numbers in college will he be able to produce in the pros? Plus he's a junior coming out. If Chop didn't produce good sack numbers, given some of the weaker teams PS played, I doubt he'll produce at the pro level. Based on the evaluations below, I hope the Rams don't draft him. As the 3rd eval. says, Robinson is a crap shoot, he's very fast, but small and has an injury history. Surely the Rams can do better with a 1st rnd pick.
Here's some evaluations:
1) He might not have the elite length that other prospects possess, and he doesn’t have elite production, either. But on tape, his ability to disrupt the offense’s timing is nearly unmatched.
2) SCOUTING REPORT: WEAKNESSES
(Note, this report said he only had 4 sacks this past season!)
Exhibits suboptimal length metrics, potentially compromising extension leverage and diminishing effective power transfer against pro-caliber linemen.
Shows occasional stiffness in lower-body kinematics, which could hinder multi-directional fluidity and limit rush counters at the apex.
Hand-fighting techniques sometimes lag in engagement timing, necessitating elevated refinement in initial combat contact and rush plan execution.
Needs to diversify his rush portfolio; reliance on primary speed and power elements can be neutralized by technically sound tackles with superior reach.
Displays a need for augmented functional strength at the point of attack, particularly evident when anchoring against the run in high-physicality matchups.
3) Concerns
Undersized with a relatively slight frame including narrow shoulders and hips and already has a history of injury.
Reliant upon his suddenness to beat blockers and can get taken for a ride when he mistimes the snap and they're able to latch on.
Gets into the backfield so quickly that he runs by as many plays as he makes.
Summary: Robinson explodes off the ball like he has springs in his shoes — a trait so appealing to NFL teams that an early first-round pick is possible. While the splash is undeniable, the lack of statistics are worrisome. In a position group full of boom-or-bust prospects, Robinson is the biggest lottery ticket of them all.
