Chop Robinson

ANALYSIS
Christian Wilkins' departure may have made defensive tackle an obvious need for the Dolphins, but Bradley Chubb (knee) and Jaelan Phillips (Achilles) both suffering season-ending injuries late in the year necessitated some edge help if the right player was available. The Dolphins landed on Robinson, a disruptive pass rusher out of Penn State who had 9.5 sacks and 17.5 tackles for loss in two seasons at Happy Valley. Miami will have to tailor its scheme to get Robinson in the right alignment as he is just a touch under 6-foot-3 while weighing 254 pounds. He has a motor and explosive athleticism (4.48 40-yard dash), but Robinson will need to develop his pass-rush moves, as merely winning on athleticism will be difficult at his size.

ANALYSIS
The Penn State edge rusher has generally been landing in the back half of the first round in mock drafts, but neither the Bears nor Commanders have picks in that range. Chicago holds the first and ninth overall selections, while Washington picks second overall and also has two picks early in the second round. Robinson probably isn't going to hear his name called in the top 10 of this year's quarterback- and wide receiver-heavy draft class, so interest in him could be a signal that both teams are open to trades that might result in them making selections later in the first round.
