After solid scouting combine and Senior Bowl workouts, Alton Robinson cemented his draft status coming out of Cuse. At 6-foot-4 and 264 pounds, Robinson has size and the speed to match. He’s highly-praised for his burst off the line of scrimmage and further proved that at the combine, running a 4.69 second 40-yard dash time.

But Robinson is a pretty raw prospect. Robinson’s speed makes him a threat on the outside of offensive tackles, but he struggles going inside. He had a solid 2018 season, notching 10 sacks and 17 tackles for loss as a junior but his recent senior season saw big drop offs with nine tackles for loss and four sacks. He played in 12 games each season. The Bills could provide him with a bit of a redshirt type of rookie season while still rotating him in.
