Couple of Heckert tidbits from Reuben Frank

bobbyinlondon · April 25, 2006, 12:05:01 PM

Q: How do you evaluate (Penn State's) Michael Robinson?

A: We like him as a quarterback. He's raw, but he's talented. He's not going to come in and play right away. We like him as a running back, too. He can be a big running back. And he can be a returner. The guy's going to help somebody."

Q: What area performed the worst last year?

A: We had a bad year all around, no doubt about it. It was a collective thing. The personnel department might have been the worst."

Id take Robinson in 3rd. He'll prob be gone by then though.

Are you serious?

Id take Robinson.... as my 3rd string QB in NFL Europe.

could that statement be more vague

ok i havn't been keeping track of him. where is his projected spot? i'd take him as the all purpose guy he can be. i'd much rather have him line up in the slot than mcmullen or g. lewis. the guy is a beast.

Late second day pick. Unless someone like Denver gets stupid again. His problem has been since the Senior Bowl, he hasn't given anyone a good look at anything else he can do, he still maintains he can be an NFL QB, and doesn't seem eager to demonstrate otherwise, so he has kind of plummeted since.

sounds more like UDFA

Robinson will be picked earliest third round more than likely though he will go in round 4.

PhillyPhreak54 · April 25, 2006, 07:45:49 PM

I'd draft Robinson no earlier than the 5th.

Drunkmasterflex · April 25, 2006, 11:09:30 PM

If I am a team like Philly with three 4th rounders I would definately take a flyer on a guy like Robinson. The dude is just a straight up football player he plays with toughness and can play multiple positions. He could definately be an asset on special teams, he has returned punts and I believe he has the skills to be a cover guy, because he was a top safety prospect as well in HS.

You are honestly going to tell me that Michael Robinson is going to come onto the Eagles and improve them in the return game, at WR, at Safety or anywhere else?

Not instantly but after watching him play all 4 years at PSU I think if the guy is given just one position to play along with special teams duty I think he could develop into a very solid NFL contributor. It doesn't have to be just him it could be Brad Smith or Reggies McNeal any of those guys they are elite athletes and I think if given the proper coaching they could be very good players.
