Alton Robinson, EDGE, Syracuse
Robinson was one of the biggest risers in the Senior Bowl, recording 1.5 sacks in the contest, despite only recording 4.5 sacks in his final year at Syracuse.
Robinson was a bit of a late bloomer, but his skill set has most scouts projecting him as a hand-in-the-ground 4-3 defensive end, making him a fit in Seattle.
The Seahawks have not been afraid to take Senior Bowl star performers at defensive end, including L.J. Collier last year, and the free agency of Jadeveon Clowney, Ziggy Ansah and Quinton Jefferson – not to mention the lack of performance from the unit as a whole in 2019 – makes finding some more edge rushers a major priority this offseason.
Robinson isn’t projected as a first, or even second day pick, but he could be a nice depth addition on day three of the draft while he continues to hone his skills and emerge as a viable 4-3 end in the NFL.
