2010 NFL Draft: New Orleans Saints Select Patrick Robinson, CB, Florida State

Email
PrintWow! Didn't see this one coming. With the 32nd pick in the draft and players like Sergio Kindle, Daryl Washington, Brian Price and Everson Griffen still on the board, the New Orleans Saints selected Florida State Patrick Robinson. Which leaves me miffed. A trade down would certainly have made a lot of sense if possible.
Still we've got to stay optimistic and assume the Saints have done their homework on Robinson and know something we don't. Payton and Loomis aren't perfect but remember Thomas Morstead wasn't a big hit when he was drafted either. Cornerback just wasn't a position most people felt was needed. Certainly this was a BPA situation.
Does this mean that we may see Malcolm Jenkins slide to safety next season? And does that mean we shouldn't expect to see Darren Sharper back?
Lots to talk about. Be sure to listen in to our live podcast at 10:30pm to give and get reaction. The number to call is (347) 215-8037.

Might as well have selected a friggen QB
We’re stacked at DB, Kindle was available and so was Washington, I disagree with the selection
not exactly
he’s gonna play, on special teams and in nickel/dime packages. a QB would never play except in the armageddon scenario of Brees being hurt.

yeah, I know
the pick kind of annoyed me too, but it’s not like we took a Placekicker. Assuming he’s a player, at least he’ll contribute

“Disappointed but I’m willing to give it some time” is the perfect pick for how I am feeling…I really wanted Kindle…he’s one of the best OLB’s in this draft and I have know clue why everyone’s passing on them, but I also trust Mickey, Sean, and Gregg
I'm with you

My thoughts
yeah, it makes sense. Most of us, myself included, were hoping for Jerry Hughes but the Colts took him before our pick.
The way I see it, the teams that are the greatest hinderance in our bid for a repeat are Indianapolis, Minnesota and Dallas. This selection helps us beat those three teams as they’re pretty pass happy offenses with questionable run blocking.
I do hope, however, that we don’t run into the Jets.

My guess is...
that on the payloo board, the drop between robinson and the next corner that would be available at the end of the second round was much greater than the drop betweem Kindle/Washington and another LB/DE.
Apparently, nobody wanted to trade up (which is surprising with Clausen and Colt sitting there) so they took BPA on their board. We’lll see…

It’s not terribly surprising, because the Rams took Bradford. Detroit, Tampa Bay, Kansas City and Washington don’t really need a QB either. It isn’t until you get to the Browns at 38 that the QB water starts becoming murky again. That’s a lot of potential trade partners for less compensation.
"I was not on the boat in question." -Darren Sharper
The other teams interested in trading up for a qb
will have more time to think about trade packages if they trade with one of the teams early tomorow, as well. I think the break between 1st and 2nd round may have barely decreased our trade talk offers in this instance. Oh well, I’m completely ok with this pick.
Pick
as in the #32 overall draft selection, and what he is going to do to Favre on the ground on Thursday night!!!!!!!

I'm trying to put a good spin on it.
We were all OK with selecting Jenkins in the 1st last year. If Jenkins is going to be a FS then this is essentially the same pick. There were bigger needs, better players out there, but it isn’t a bad pick. We spent a long time getting psyched about the players we thought we were going to draft, so this is a disappointment for a lot of us, but I still say it isn’t a bad pick. I’m not excited about it, I just don’t dislike it right now. On the bright side, I’m really likin’ that Dekota Watson kid for us in the 3rd or 4th. Have a mentioned that yet today?
"I want to hand this trophy to the MVP of the Super Bowl -- and the MVP of the entire league.''
-- Saints coach Sean Payton, handing the Vince Lombardi Trophy to Drew Brees after Super Bowl 44.
Yes, but at the time we were OK with the Jenkins pick, just about everyone was penciling Greer in as the nickel back. I don’t think anyone would have been OK with a nickel (or even one year removed starting FS) for the 14th overall selection, had they known then what we know now. You should be looking for a starter with your first round pick. Period. This will likely mark the second year in a row we didn’t accomplish that. And even if Jenkins plays lights out at FS, where does that leave Robinson in 2011? Still at nickel? Or are they going to shift him to backup QB and draft another nickel? That’s our newfound breeding ground for future talent. I’ll bet they were really disappointed to learn that Meachem couldn’t play nickel after they drafted him. They could have set up the detour signs two years sooner.
"I was not on the boat in question." -Darren Sharper
Haha. Theres the coldpizza we know and love.
Its been a while since you had this good of stuff. I heard he’s got a good reverse spiral. Jason Kyle better be watching his back for the long snapping duties. Like mentioned earlier, last year there did seem to be a high number of teams that made the playoffs, who were pass-happy teams. A good nickel will go a long way into really conquering these opposing offenses.
An extra corner will also cure the injury bug that usuall seems to strike us at that position. The last stockpiling of safeties I remember was probably the Eagles of a few years ago. I remember they had Sheldon Brown in his prime (above average) as a nickel. They had a pretty good defense that could get after the qb and corners that could cover the receivers by themselves. This is the kind of defense Gdub likes to run so it makes some sense.
Overall, Robinson seems a lot like Tracy Porter. They are the same build and both 4.4 runners. I’m not sure if he is the best player (starter) now, but we have the luxury of not having to have a savior and drafting for potential and skills (which he has).

Patrick Robinson-DB- Saints Apr. 22 – 11:06 pm et
Saints selected Florida State CB Patrick Robinson with the No. 32 overall pick in the NFL Draft. Inconsistent and short on ball skills, Robinson managed just a single pick in his final two seasons after intercepting six passes as a sophomore. He is versed and highly experienced in press coverage, though, and Robinson’s feet are regarded as the quickest of any corner in the draft. The selection indicates that 2009 first-round pick Malcolm Jenkins will move to free safety this offseason, assuming free agent Darren Sharper isn’t re-signed.
Who in the hell is Patrick Robinson?
Three other sources
said that he has great ball skills. Maybe we should wait till Rookie minicamps at least before we declare the relative skills of each pick?
"If the Saints can reach the Superbowl, the Rangers can reach the World Series." - PhilKid

Don't worry too much about drop off of interceptions
teams simply avoid throwing at him. Looks like we’re gonna see more of GW’s 3-3-5 defense. Probably gonna blitz every other down. Also, insurance if we don’t re-sign Sharper with Jenkins likely moving to safety. Then again, don’t forget about our two rookies from last year that didn’t see regular season action. Arnoux may be the pass rusher we’ve been hoping for.
True about other teams avoiding him
His freshman year when he had six picks, he wasn’t the “number one” safet on the team, so I’m assuming teams threw to his receiver. After a year of seeing him do well, I’m assuming the other team avoided him when they could.
So does that mean..
We’re more likely to trade Jammal Brown for a 2nd rounder that can be used for a pick like Washington, Price, or hopefully, Gerhart
As long as they draft another OT within the first four rounds. Or a lesser OT is involved in the trade. That’s the only way I’m OK with trading Brown.
"I was not on the boat in question." -Darren Sharper
Yeah
I still think we need to replace him, but I want a higher pick than we have now to make up for the mess we made of #32
Here's to you, Patrick Robinson, Jesus1000 loves you more than you will know...
I like the idea of
Trading him for a 2nd. Picking Price with that pick and a rushing OLB, like Norwood, with our original 2nd. I think there are good enough big backs (scott, Dixon) later in the draft, although Bearhart would make other teams defense actually wear their tailbone pads to hide the accident in their pants before they played us.
Possible prospects for OLB in the draft

64. I think Washington is probably gonzo, but LBs drop all the time so he might still be there. Bowman will still be there, Lee and Norwood too, probably. Edds will probably last till rounds 4-5. There’s quite a few LB available.
I’m more interested to see what we do for the D-line.

Brian Price
if we can. It probably will require a trade. I think hes similar to Sed. Who will the opponents O-line focus on if they have to block both of those guys?
Posted this somewhere else. But that is so bogged down now…but said he’d be who we chose if we did take a CB back in the day…
“CB:
We’re pretty good with CB’s actually this year as long as we stay healthy. The Saints have a very young CB group and again, I’m not saying we really need it, just a what if we were to pick one:
Patrick Robinson – CB Florida State
Like I said I really doubt this, unless they’re still serious about converting Malcolm Jenkins to safety (Usama Young too?) But Robinson would be a great pickup for any team needing a young CB."
really suprised that Kindle fell
someone ine going to get themselves a good player with him. Good against the run, good blitzer, good leadership

NY SUCKS
Is it just me or does everybody else here think New York fans suck ass! I mean come on who the F boo’s Drew Brees! Well on second thought a state full of football fans who saw their teams asses get kicked by Brees this past season. Don’t worry about those A-holes Drew! We love ya, that’s all that matters. And a corner? Hmmm? Didn’t see that coming. But in hindsight it makes since as soon as you get past the needs at LB and better pass rush from the D-line, we sure do need better talent and depth behind Greer and Porter.

Kindle is more of a 3-4 OLB/DE guy, so it makes sense for us to pass up on him
but Daryl Washington was available, come on man. Even Taylor Mays would’ve been a solid pick up

It honestly
sounded like a little bit of a reach to take Wahington at our spot, I saw him as more of a good choice at pick 45. Taylor Mays is a physical freak, but I really don’t think he will pan out since he doesn’t read and react as well as a good safety should. He is just a fast thumper.
Did someone just make a Hitler reference?

I disagree about Jenkins. It still isn’t determined if he’s gonna be a great CB yet. And, I think Pay-Loo and Williams always had safety in mind for an option for Jenkins. It’s not admitting they screwed up or something if they move him to FS. That’s always been an option even from the moment they drafted him.

Gotta love our team
They disregard all that college rivalry stuff in a heartbeat. They just want to have a great Saints team. Thats awesome.
Why did the Jets draft a CB?
That’s a good question to ask when figuring out this Robinson pick. It obviously appeared that they too didn’t need another one in the 1st round because they already have Revis and Chromartie. Rex Ryan and Gregg Williams both are considered to be great defensive minds from the Buddy Ryan school. Gregg definitely has something in mind that we simply aren’t able to see right now. I’m gonna keep waiting this decision out and see what happens next.
Good night all!

You guys don't get it
This pick is great, WHY???
lets say we move Jenkins to safety, ok well this pick takes care of 2 defensive needs.
Sharper is old and picked on young QBs last year. watch the falcons game and tell me he didn’t get burned.
When greer and porter went down last year we had 2 guys that we signed off the street. You can never have too much depth at CB. This also help get Gay out the picture, sorry LSU fans but Gay is not good.
Stanley Arnoux is coming back. maybe SP feels he can step in and be a key LB so why take a LB in the first.
We score tons of points, what does that make the opposing team do???? PASS, what position plays in passing downs? CORNERBACK
You guys act like Payton, Loomis, and Williams don’t know what they’re doing. How long has our secondary sucked?
by touchdown my pants on Apr 22, 2010 11:05 PM CDT reply actions
Technically you’re correct, but one of those needs didn’t exist prior to the pick. In other words, it didn’t take care of two PRE-EXISTING defensive needs. The reassignment of Jenkins takes care of one. This pick fills the void caused by that reassignment. You’re still have no more depth than you did prior at CB. Even in the big picture, it doesn’t afford us any more flexibility, in terms of secondary depth, than we had before. You’ve replaced a FS-only with a CB-only. Granted, you’ve gotten younger in the secondary. As of now, that’s about the only long term good that can be drawn from it.

value pick...
This is what happens when you pick in the last part of the round. Obviously Robinson graded out higher at his position than any other player at theirs.
When we trade JB to a team like Buf and get another 2nd, maybe we will pick up Washington.
With the 32nd pick of the 2010 NFL Draft, the New Orleans Saints say "Sean Weatherspoon, come on down!!!"

He doesn’t impress me at all. Just a serviceable OLB, in a weak conference too.

anyone think it's possible
that Washington could drop again? at least to the middle of the 2nd round where we could make a play for him? Kindle is still on the board so that makes me think he could last at least a little bit longer
I'll buy that

A little longer but that’s a bit of a stretch. Course, I’m still in shock about Tebow so who knows? It somewhere between probable and wishful thinking.

I'm not thrilled about losing a proven probowl tackle in trade
O-line depth is also important. Bushrod filled in adequately with help, but J Brown is better. What do we do if J. Brown’s backup, Bushrod, gets injured? We’d be one sack from Madden-curse fulfillment and total disaster.

do we need a DE tweener?
didn’t the Saints just get a better pass rush with Alex Brown? Might Pay-Gre-Loo believe that we already have the tools for a good pass-rush, and that we don’t need some unproven rookie who can pretty much only blitz?

This is the difference between a franchise like the Saints and the Colts..
The Colts always pick at the bottom of the draft but somehow always select good, solid players. Jerry Hughes is an outstanding pickup for them, the Saints had some solid guys sitting there, waiting, but we went out and selected a CORNER BACK? ugh man, I’m still livid, this kid better be the next Asomugha/Revis/Bailey or else it’s a bust, in my eyes. I just can’t handle this bullshit, we better get an OLB at 64
idk about that

Tracy porter was taken only 8 picks after this slot and we weren’t expecting the world from him….although we did get a “WORLD” CHAMPIONSHIP because of him

you're always livid, at everything
I guarantee every TD the Saints concede will be met with howls of “Payton sucks, this sucks, everything is stupid” from you.
C’mon.
Here's to you, Patrick Robinson, Jesus1000 loves you more than you will know...
nah man, real talk it's not even about that..
Patrick Robinson wasn’t who I envisioned the Saints taking with the 32nd pick, it basically means Sharper isn’t returning and it’s a confusing pick when OLB is a bigger need. As of right now, our starters would be Shanle and Casillas or Dunbar, you’re okay with that? I’m not, not when there’s guys like Sergio Kindle or Daryl Washington out there still available.
we could trade for
McIntosh of the Redskins
by Andrew Tessier on Apr 23, 2010 12:11 AM CDT up reply actions
no or else we would've picked them up
Kirk Morrison is probably on his way out of Oakland since they selected Rolando McClain pretty high up, he’s a RFA but if Loomis and co. quit being jews, maybe we can actually aquire him
Just before the pick, Marshall Faulk said something about Gregg Williams being known as a guy that avoids going after LBs in the draft. Anyone else catch that?

Shanle and Casillas/Dunbar/Arnoux
That doesn’t bother me that much. We had Shanle last year and we weren’t too bad. Fujita was good, but he wasn’t amazing—maybe Arnoux’s got some good ability
by Andrew Tessier on Apr 23, 2010 12:14 AM CDT up reply actions
but we had the opportunity for a clear upgrade?
Casillas isn’t a starting OLB, neither is Dunbar, we’ve yet to see what Arnoux is made out of, but if I was a betting man, I’d bet that the Saints go OLB at 64, Navorro Bowman perhaps. Jammal Brown might be traded to a team with OT need at the beginning of the 2nd rounder, then they could take Daryl Washington or Sergio Kindle
I don't like Daryl Washington...
I’ve seen his highlights and frankly, they’re unimpressive. Kindle is a beast, but he can’t cover—he’s never really used like that. He’s more of a pure blitzer; but we just got Alex Brown, maybe GW thinks that we don’t need him. Plus, I gotta believe that something’s up if he dropped out of the first round when he was project above the 20th overall pick.

don't understand the Brown trade
Really, I could think of far better a thing to do than to get ride of a guy who is a proven protector of our savior Breesus Christ. He knows the system, knows the organization, is a proven pro-bowler and valuable piece of an O-line that keeps Brees up-right, in fact maybe the most valuable piece. Money is not an issue I would think due to no salary cap so freeing up his pay doesn’t seem to be a need. Bushrod did fill in and did a pretty decent job but I don’t feel totally confident with him protecting Brees’ blind side. Too many bone-headed mistakes last year that led to Brees on the turf or turnovers from QB fumbles or hurried throws. He got beat by elite pass rushers and fooled by schemes. Nobody is perfect but my protector of the great one better be close to it or at least capable of it. Bushrod or Brown… Brown any day of the week as far as confidence goes. So I ask, get rid of Brown and who starts Bushrod. Then who backs him up? Brown went down for the year last year. Is it so out of left field to think it could happen with Bushrod if Brown’s gone and he’s the starter, then what? And for what? to pick up an un-proven college only experienced LB in the top of the draft. We have LBs and although I agree that we could use an upgrade, but more so, quality depth, at the position, trading away or best most solid LT to get one just is not an option in my opinion.

I was actually hoping for Brian Price from UCLA
I’m thinking a run stopper to go along side Sedrick Ellis. Or hell I would have even liked Mt. Cody.
Yeah I’m shocked at the pick, but I think we have a solid front office.
The passion here is entertaining though……

There was a time last year
about halfway through the season in the Rams game that I started noting that anytime opposing offenses made a good completion, it was against Gay or Torrence. Maybe this was a need after all.
We Needed another CB
Like some of the other posts above I LOVE the Robinson pick. Last year, Greer and Porter spent almost an entire season in combined time either out or limited due to injuries. Because of the offense, the defense spends almost half its time playing the nickel or dime, usually with only two linebackers. Adding Robinson to the CB rotation should keep all of them healthier, even if Jenkins moves to FS.
I watched several TCU games this past year with Washington and I didn’t believe he was worth a 1st round choice. With Arnoux, Casillas, and a couple other potential replacements for Fujita already on the roster, a CB was a higher need. I look at the OLB need the same way I did with Pierre Thomas as starting RB at the last draft. Some people were incensed we did not draft a RB. PT showed why we need to keep the faith.
