Positives:
Dunta Robinson has decent size, very good speed, and the coverage skills to be a shut-down corner in the NFL. He's a physical player. He tackles well, and is not afraid to step up in run support. He has a terrific combination of speed and strength, good acceleration, and quickness closing on the ball carrier.
He shows excellent footwork... has a good back pedal. He's fluid in his turn and possesses great ball skills. Changes direction well. He is also an intelligent player, with character... a team player. He also could be used on kick or punt returns.
Negatives:
Robinson is blessed with great athletic ability overall, but as a corner, he's a little inexperienced. He played running back and wide receive in college before playing safety his freshman year at South Carolina. He moved to cornerback his junior year, so he has been playing the position for just two years. He could certainly use a little polish in the pros. Does not have great height or leaping ability either.
Projection:
Robinson is a player on the rise. He doesn't have great height, but he has the speed and strength to stay with NFL receivers. He should be selected in the late-first or early-second round.
