"We see him as a first round talent on a typical year. ... Regardless of what round he’s selected in, Robinson is a player we’ll be betting on as a pro.

There’s a lot to like about the former Nittany Lion, but perhaps more importantly, there’s very limited downside as we see it. From an on-field perspective, Robinson has a lot to hang his hat on. The most common knock you hear on him is a lack of elite speed, but at six foot three, and with top shelf athleticism, he doesn’t need to be a speed burner.

...

Robinson was the heart of Penn State’s offense. And, even though opposing defenses knew he was the first option on most passing downs, they still couldn’t stop him. This is a positive in terms of projecting him as a lead receiver at the next level

...

Robinson is a prototypical NFL outside receiving threat. ... Perhaps the thing that jumps out most on film with Robinson, is his ability to gain separation, both before and after the catch, with his sharp and sudden cuts. It’s impressive for a big receiver. ... He is a dangerous man after the catch. ... he’s very good when the ball is in the air. He can elevate like a small forward and he tends to get the ball at its high point, which allows him to out-joust defensive backs ... He played in a pro-style offense and ran all the routes we want to see -- both inside and outside

...

In the end, Robinson is a player that should succeed at the next level. We think he has a high ceiling because he is dangerous after the catch and he can rack up receptions due to a strong skill set."

Jets blog:

"Robinson is a player that I am very high on for the Jets ... Honestly, I see a first round talent in Robinson—who may not have his name called on day one, because of the depth at the wide receiver position in this year’s class... The Jets would be very lucky to see him still on the board, with the 17th pick of the second round, in the 2014 NFL Draft.

...

He looks to the part of a number one or two wideout, and has the versatility to be used in many different schemes. Robinson can handle the ‘workman’s load’, and thrives on being the playmaker that changes the course of games."

NJ. com's new mock that came out today has Robinson going First Round

5. Oakland Raiders - Sammy Watkins, WR, Clemson

The Raiders give Matt Schaub the playmaker he's going to need to succeed in the Black Hole.

...

7. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Mike Evans, WR, Texas A&M

The Bucs grab Evans, the second-best receiver available in this draft.

...

15. Pittsburgh Steelers - Odell Beckham Jr., WR, LSU

...

21. Green Bay Packers - Brandin Cooks, WR, Oregon State

Just the right weapon for Aaron Rodgers, the speedy Cooks has the potential—note I used the word potential, not that I said it's a sure thing—to make the folks in cheese country forget they've lost dudes like Donald Driver, Greg Jennings, and James Jones in recent seasons.

...

22. Philadelphia Eagles - Cody Latimer, WR, Indiana

Latimer is another one of these guys who's seen his stock rise as the draft nears, and because he's big, strong, and fast, he's precisely the kind of dynamic fit for Chip Kelly's high-wire act of an offense.

...

23. Kansas City Chiefs - Marqise Lee, WR, USC

...

28. Carolina Panthers - Kelvin Benjamin, WR, Florida State

The Round One run on receivers continues, with the Panthers getting someone to ease their loss of Steve Smith, which would make Cam Newton very happy.

...

30. San Francisco 49ers - Allen Robinson, WR, Penn State

Robinson sneaks into the first round to give Colin Kaepernick a big, high-flying target at wideout opposite Michael Crabtree.

today, Steelers blog, Behind the Steel Curtain, had Robinson among the 7 WRs they mentioned when addressing what WR the Steelers could take at #15

"Who are the candidates?

Odds are essentially nil that either Clemson's Sammy Watkins or Texas A&M's Mike Evans will be available with the 15th pick.

LSU's Odell Beckham appears to be the best option for the team where they currently are. However, there are several players who don't stack up far behind Beckham for one reason or another. Indiana's Cody Latimer, Florida State Kelvin Benjamin and Penn State's Allen Robinson are all players likely to be available at 15, and some of them could fall into the second round as well. (when the Steelers pick at #46)

...

Slot receivers in particular, like Oregon State's Brandin Cooks, showed they can be highly productive even if they aren't the biggest players on the field."

Wait so the Steelers are definitely taking a receiver at 15? Or just considering it?

Don't even try, man.

 

You may as well lock yourself in a room full of pathological liars and ask them to tell you fish stories.

Wanted to share this. Not to over do it with the Robinson hype, but he really is a plug and play guy. I've been watching some of my favorites as the draft approaches but you can see here he does it all. Pro system, beats press, runs the routes, footwork, screens,acrobatic catches, elusiveness, size, speed, athleticism, he even runs it out the backfield. I would be surprised to see him in the first

Had a couple drops, but the QB did him zero favors and Robinson saved him a couple times. Nebraska always has a stout, disciplined defense.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      By Aussie Tank · Posted

      I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      By ColumbusCounty · Posted

      I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
