Name: A’Shawn Robinson

Position: Defensive tackle

College: Alabama Crimson Tide

Career highlights: 2015 College All-American, 2016 CFP National Champion, 2 time SEC Champion

Pros: A’Shawn Robinson is arguably the best run-stuffing defensive tackle in this draft. You usually need two men to stop him from making an impact. Is extremely athletic for his size. No offensive lineman can match him for strength in a one-on-one situation.

Cons: No pass rush moves outside of a bull rush. This could take him out of games in obvious passing situations. Sometimes lacks for effort, taking plays off.

Overall: With Kyle Williams recovering from surgery and getting older, Robinson fits the bill. Is an ideal fit in Rex Ryan’s 3-4 scheme. He should be someone who contributes from day one.
