It’s a fun blend of film study, self-evaluation, and a check on how well certain traits really translate to the NFL. I won’t be writing full scouting reports here, as I did that after the draft. This series is more about reviewing last year’s film in comparison to my pre-draft thoughts. Did the player perform as expected? Did anything surprise me? And what do I think comes next? At the end of each article, I’ll give my updated outlook for that player in the future.Previously: Jihaad Campbell / Andrew MukubaTy RobinsonTy Robinson was probably the Eagles draft pick I was least excited about on draft weekend. Not because I disliked the player, but because I had watched 15 defensive tackles before the draft, and Robinson was the 16th on my list to watch. Sigh. After getting over the initial disappointment, Robinson became one of my favorite players to study. “he’s the most fun player I’ve watched that the Eagles drafted and he plays like a wrecking ball.”His effort level jumped off the screen at Nebraska, and although I wasn’t convinced he had the physical tools to become a star, I thought the Eagles had drafted someone who could carve out an immediate role in their defensive line rotation. Looking back now, that looks incredibly optimistic. I wasn’t projecting Robinson to become the next Moro Ojomo or Milton Williams. “I’m not sure he has the physical traits ever to become a high-level starter”Robinson was already 24 years old as a rookie, which is exactly why I believed he’d contribute immediately. Older prospects are usually more physically and mentally prepared for the NFL than younger developmental players, and I felt Robinson’s experience would allow him to play meaningful snaps from Day One.“I feel pretty convinced that he will have a role as a rookie and contribute immediately”I expected a dependable rotational defensive tackle who could defend the run on early downs, provide the occasional interior pass rush, and give the Eagles solid, unspectacular football. Most of the weaknesses I highlighted before the draft ended up appearing during Robinson’s rookie season. What I completely misjudged was how much those weaknesses would limit him early in his career. I thought Robinson’s strengths would outweigh the flaws enough for him to become a useful rotational player straight away. Instead, they prevented him from earning Vic Fangio’s trust at all.Things I ExpectedMy expectations for Robinson were never particularly ambitious. I expected a reliable fourth defensive tackle who could play 2
