Round 5, Pick 160 – Tulsa CB Reggie Robinson II
I know what you’re about to say: “Waiting until the fifth round to draft a cornerback?”
When you look at all of the cornerbacks on the Chiefs’ Super Bowl-winning roster, how many of them were drafted in the first round?
- Kendall Fuller – third round
- Tyrann Mathieu – third round
- Bashaud Breeland – fourth round
- Rashad Fenton – seventh round
- Charvarius Ward – Undrafted
Kansas City can find starting-caliber talent at the CB position without spending top draft capital to find it.
Another Senior Bowl standout, Robinson a tough corner that plays extremely physical at the line of scrimmage. He’s a hard-nosed tackler with a good presence to come up and lay a hit on a ball carrier. His ball skills are probably one of the more underrated parts of the game, but I feel like he does a solid job locating the football once it’s in the air.
Robinson is also a stud special teamer with four blocked kicks during his collegiate career. That’s something that you have to consider once you get past the middle rounds of the draft.
