Ravens Select Ole Miss DE Tavius Robinson With No. 124 Pick in NFL Draft
Ole Miss Rebels defensive end Tavius Robinson is officially off the board. The Baltimore Ravens selected Robinson with the No. 124 pick in the NFL Draft on Saturday, adding size and athleticism to their front seven.
In three seasons with the Rebels, the Guelph, Ontario, native recorded 11.5 sacks, 14 TFLs, 90 tackles five forced fumbles, and one blocked pass. As a senior, Robinson led Ole Miss in sacks (7) and forced fumbles (5) after starting in all 13 games last fall.
SI's Draft Bible dubs Robinson as "a towering defender whose size and skill set allows him to play up and down the defensive front."
Here is SI's full scouting report on Robinson.
"Long physique with an athletic build. Frame to add mass if you wanted to kick him inside. Plays In a variety of alignments. Snaps all the way from nine to three-technique. Some upfield burst to threaten pocket width and win around the edge. Powerful hands that can knock tackles off balance and win inside as a pass rusher. Strike placement and quickness also shine on grip and rip moves. Generates speed to power with a nice get-off that transposes into a pocket-pushing bull rush. Overpowers tight ends and wins across face in the run game. Stack and shed while reading on running plays. Doesn’t present elite bend upon initial viewing. Not a twitchy guy. Yet to see him work a variety of moves. Unable to counter or work the pocket when losing the initial battle at the junction point."
