AbeBeta said:

Awuzie is likely moving to safety and, honestly, I think one of our corners may end up trade bait. Both Brown and Lewis were on the block at times last year.

They better not do that stupid mess again. Thinking we were too deep at corner is how he we ended up trading Ward to the Chiefs last year.

I'm not a fan. My reasons:
1. Redshirt Senior who's labeled raw, not good.
2. Gets worked on releases.
3. Gets bullied on releases.
4. Technique poor.
5. Awareness seems off on some plays.
6. Plays slow at times to run a 4.44.
7. Tackling technique is poor.
8. Catch point defense is lacking.

Sunshine: the coaches will be legit if they get this guy to a quality starter level.

1 of 8 correct. You're on a roll...

I've got a good feeling regarding this kid!! He hasn't enjoyed as many accolades as some but I think he'll eventually be among the most highly acclaimed of our 2020 draftees. Watch out for him in 2021.

Robinson is a 2021 draft pick, meaning next year a Awuzie and Lewis are free agents and he will replace one of those two guys. I happen to be a Chido fan and think he deserves more credit as a player. He has a bad spell for a few games and I think he lost his confidence in the middle of the season but I also think he played better towards the end. Based on everything I have read and heard about Richard's philosophy on defense, I think we need to see Awuzie under a new coach and scheme. He may flourish under Nolan. But he and Lewis are playing for contracts and that could mean one or both have breakout years.

I dont want a corner who can lose confidence. Pick another position

Of the Cowboys 1st half round picks, this is the player that hasn't been as discussed here.
In terms of ability,potential and role this year.

With the Cowboys having several CBs in content for playing time and roles, how does 4th round pick
Reggie Robinson fit in ?

i'm researching and keeping hearing that he may be more better with his face towards the QB ..than having to press turn and go, with his back to the QB.
Hmm, that tends to spell a better zone, off cushion DB than a bump n run CB - but i'm leaving it up to the Scouts who evaluate and projected him, as well as the coaches

But how does he gain experience with Diggs, Worley, Brown, Lewis, and perhaps Awuzie ahead of him ?
Has to be active list in some kind of capacity to be a front running factor next year.

I'm still iffy on roster status of Goodwin and Cannday but Special teams will factor big in game day active list.

-I believe year one for Robinson is more about being a core special teamer and getting his feet wet within the defensive sub-packages.

So says you

Tell us how great he is.

Only because people are obsessed over what Dak Prescott's salary will be

Also got two more on the roster so most likely we’ll carry an extra DB this year

That was stupid.

However, in this case, Awuzie is a better fit at slot or S, and we should've seen that from the start. We've been misplaying him.

I'm not so sure about that. I think he can play outside corner and slot honestly. I honestly think he's a better outside corner than he would be a slot or safety. Just depends on where they see their team.

xwalker said:

2M fully guaranteed...

The only way he does not make the team is if they have 5 CBs that are unequivocally better than him during training camp.

I don't think he makes the team. IMO, he was simply insurance against injuries or Diggs/Robinson playing poorly.

That's what Jason and his staff thought, but I believe they misevaluated his skillset.

I don't think it's about their team, I think it's about putting players in the best position to succeed.

I do too but at the same who are the corners?

I know they have the free agents they signed.

I personally think Brown, Lewis and Chido are our best corners. I also could see Robinson or Diggs fighting for a starting spot.....but I don't see both of them.

Chido, like Jones, is a case of us misplaying him. Jones best position was as an outside corner. Chido's is as a slot. Keeping him outside would be the same as not putting Jones there. He fits better.

ANALYST'S REPORTS

Marino

• 
  
  
  PROS: Has the size needed to play on the outside. While he lacks technique, he’s super aggressive in press coverage to create jams and crowd releases. Feels route stems well and keeps himself in-phase as patterns elongate. Terrific athlete that has plenty of spring in his step. Tenacious run defender and he can defend the d-gap. Ball production has been excellent and his ball skills pop on tape. Has some upside in zone coverage and he has a good feel for adjusting his landmarks as routes develop. Plays like an alpha in everything he does. Hips are smooth and his transitions are clean.
  
  CONS: Footwork can be sloppy. Has to do a better job with his base in press coverage because receivers that can work steep angles gain a step on him and he resolves to tugging. Very handsy in general. Needs to play with better leverage in his pedal and when tackling.
  
  BEST TRAIT - Ball Skills
  
  WORST TRAIT - Technique
  
  RED FLAGS - None
  
  Tulsa cornerback Reggie Robinson developed nicely throughout his career after playing safety in high school. The switch flipped as a senior in 2019 where he was fifth in the FBS with 17 pass breakups and logged four interceptions. While Robinson has technical work needed in every coverage concept, he isn’t limited. There are positive reps in man, press and zone making him a versatile prospect that plays a physical brand of football and can make plays on the football. His development will now continue at the next level where his ceiling is exciting as he continues to develop his technique given his impressive physical traits and alpha mentality. Robinson profiles as a starting outside corner by Year Two/Three.

School: Tulsa

Reggie Robinson 2020 NFL Draft Profile
Reggie Robinson comes from an athletic football family and fit every part of that role while at Tulsa. He notched four field goal blocks during his time and started contributing during his redshirt freshman season. He missed part of his junior season due to injury but would achieve first team All-American Athletic Conference honors in 2019.

Robinson was never afraid to make a tackle, landing 37 in his senior year while finding two fumbles for recoveries. Impact play after impact play has landed Robinson in high regard in the AAC and should help him find a solid position in the NFL. But there are still fundamental problems that he needs to solve to become a consistently contributing cornerback in the NFL, and those problems may not be easily solved. But there is a specific NFL team for his skill set, and it will be up to scouts and coaches to find that fit.

Strengths
– Size to fit into an outside cornerback position
– Possesses a nose for figuring out where the football is going
– Keeps his eyes locked on the quarterback
– Willing to attack the run and step up on screens

Weaknesses
– Straight line speed does not equate to good recovery speed
– Always one chess move behind wide receivers
– While he does attack the run, his ability to do so is average
– Due to the inconsistency with which he sticks on outside receivers, he will have to learn the fundamentals of a zone or shadow cornerback
– Will be outrun consistently by faster wide receivers; struggles to recognize the first step

NFL Comparison: J.J. Wilcox

The size, length and ball production offer up hope, but Robinson’s lack of speed and athletic traits could prevent him from maintaining playmaking positioning as a pro. He has average instincts, but his length can be a disruptive factor in close quarters. If he can crank up his run-support intensity, he might get looks as a zone corner or a safety.

Reggie Robinson II CB, TULSA
Height: 6-1, Weight: 205

Freaky size/speed/explosion combination yet a long way to go technically. Robinson's 2019 film was average at best. Must locate the ball quicker. Mirroring is inconsistent. If he puts it all together, he has starter ability and can match up with big WRs. (Chris Trapasso)

Draft Scouting Report:

Rating: 69

Strengths:

• Physical at the line, fights to break up screen
• Controlled footwork
• Good awareness

Weaknesses:

• Does not have the quickest feet
• Hips get a bit stiff

2019 College stats:

Games played: 12
Tackles: 38
Sacks: 0

Why the Cowboys added a second cornerback in 2020 NFL Draft in Tulsa’s Reggie Robinson III
It’s Reggie Robinson time.

In day three of the NFL Draft, NFL teams are drafting on traits, and boy does the newest member of the Dallas Cowboys have some. Listed at 6’1”, 205 lb, Robinson possesses physical size, with long levers when lined up in press-man. Robinson is extremely physical at the line of scrimmage to disrupt receivers timing on their releases. He is a patient striker, that has some violence in his hands on his jams.

Robinson is not just a press-man corner, though, showing excellent ability to play receivers and the ball in off-man and zone coverage. He possesses excellent instincts as a boundary corner, and his ball skills improved tremendously in 2019. He also showed the ability to play in quarters and match coverage at Tulsa.

As an athlete, Robinson is about as good as it gets given his size and length at the position. Robinson posted one of the best RAS Scores out of anyone in this draft class, showing his athleticism in every aspect of his game is top-notch

There is also a bonus aspect to the Robinson pick. He can play special teams, and play them very well. At Tulsa, he had four blocked kicks. John Fassel will be very happy to get another weapon for his special teams unit.

Robinson joins CeeDee Lamb, Trevon Diggs, and Neville Gallimore to add to an already excellent draft class. Given his size, length, athleticism, and scheme-versatility, Robinson has CB1 traits, and if he’s able to reach his ceiling he’ll be one of the best value picks in the 2020 NFL Draft.

I think he will turn out better than Diggs

i'll add these two Robinson detailed game clips because i think they go into break down detail and descriptions on Robinson's game

i like Voch's clip of RR-2 because it shows up at the Senior Bowl vs a various of WR talent than any other. i'm for seeing the display of pros and cons instead of all pure highlights.

Robinson has the tools to be a starter down the road, but you have to think his primary role this year will be special teams. This year is going to be an especially difficult year for rookies to make an immediate contribution since they are all losing valuable mini-camp reps.

Chido, like Jones, is a case of us misplaying him. Jones best position was as an outside corner. Chido's is as a slot. Keeping him outside would be the same as not putting Jones there. He fits better.

Chido's issue was scheme. When you watch him play you can tell he's being hindered by scheme. That was the issue with all of them. I'd be highly disappointed if Chido and Lewis aren't starting for us because if they aren't that means we are going to rely on youth at corner.
