2024 1st round pick #27 is Darius Robinson Edge

[DVontel]

Wiggins is two full years younger than Robinson. I feel like Monty fudged on that one but it’s hard to complain after getting Marv.

I don’t think we were ever in a spot to draft a CB in the 1st with our lack of pass-rush.

 

[Finito]

He does nothing special at all. He’s not fast, not really strong, no real great pass rush moves.

He’s basic at best IMO.

Robinson was a dominant player at the Senior Bowl practices which is more important than the game.

He does nothing special at all. He’s not fast, not really strong, no real great pass rush moves.

He’s basic at best IMO.

Booger McFarland mentioned that he has the strongest hands he's ever seen. Said that is why at his size he can overpower much larger lineman. He's only going to get stronger with that frame...

Not strong?

 

[Cardinal]

Robinson has as much interior pass rush potential as Newton...maybe more. Hes 10 pounds lighter than Newton....but way more athletic.

Hes going to play in the NFL at between 280-300lbs.

This bolded part just isn't true at all. Watch the tape. Newton is a true DT type but is very quick in tight spaces. Robinson is more of DE, but his height actually makes look even less athletic and uncoordinated. We are listing Robinson at DT but I sure hope that's not the case. We should've just drafted Newton if we wanted a DT.

There's a chance Newton will be there at the next pick but we do need a CB.

After the three edges were gone I shifted to corner (Wiggins specifically). Didn’t think D-Rob was realistic until 35.

Then we got two marvs today

We need the help at DE and DT. I believe Robinson will fill one of those needs. He's 290lb with a motor and has a huge frame if he ends up at DT and can easily handle more weight.

Think of a Calais Campbell Darnell Dockett type player forty times are really over rated IMHO

 

[AZCB34]

I like him… certainly not a “waste of a pick”

I think he is feast or famine with nothing in between

More important than the games he played at Mizzou also.

I wonder if Monti is still recycling the scouting department and will focus on Senior Bowl Standouts for another year.

 

[Chopper0080]

Good pick. Jeremiah’s physical comp was Cam Jordan. We will see how they use him.

I want to amend with "in the first round with the defensive talent on the board" but basically yes

Agreed. Honestly I would be REALLY worried if DL or OL had to run straight for 40 yards consistently.

 

[BACH]

I think a lot of you are forgetting Gannon's system. Eagles played with a rush DT at DE opposite Reddick that slides inside on passing downs. This guy is perfect for that role.

I would have gone CB, but obviously that is why I'm not a GM. Two of the top CBs are still available

I remember another player that was really good in the All Star Games Darnell Dockett turned out to be pretty good Granted he was a 3rd round pick though hell Even Calais Campbell was a 2nd round pick I seem to recall

 

[GoldGloveschmidt]

I like this pick

 

[Chopper0080]

I would have preferred a move up for Turner but Darius is a good add tho he is a very different type of player.

 

[KiwiCard]

Not exactly who I was hoping for but he’s a cardinal now and I wish him all the best and hope we end up with a pro bowl calibre Dlineman

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

I think he’s a good player. I just hesitate in saying he’s a very good to great player. And that’s what I was hoping for with this pick. Guess we’ll see.

We were very close to a Garrett Wilson/Sauce Gardner moment and got Johnson/Suggs instead.

 

[BACH]

After the three edges were gone I shifted to corner (Wiggins specifically). Didn’t think D-Rob was realistic until 35.

I was thinking the same, but we were obviously wrong. Two of the 5 CBs still available.

 

[BACH]

PFF praises the pick. They say that he landed in one of the top 3 teams where he fits perfectly

 

[AZCrazy]

If we get McKinstry at 35, I'll be overjoyed. I'd have taken the two guys in the reverse order, but can't be disappointed with that.

In

draft stuff was calling Robinson an edge guy

now the Cards are calling him a DT

NFLN radio guys did pretty good coverage of his college career when he was selected. Apparently started outside but was moved inside when someone got hurt, basically can play either with good technique and success at both spots. That wouldn't be a bad thing if it pans out at the next level. Also interviewed him after the pick and I was mega-impressed with how he carried himself, how he responded to their questions, and how eager he was to get to work. They pointed out how his stock rose dramatically after the Senior Bowl, so they asked him what his goals were going into that game. The first was he wanted to show better than what his tape showed, which apparently he succeeded at doing. Don't remember the other 2 questions but they were good ones and he answered well, not just with generic platitudes. Kid didn't even play football till his junior year of HS and winds up being a first round pick? That's pretty impressive. Hosts seemed to think it was a pretty great pick. Time will tell.
